-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on what dates the Minister for Defence Procurement has met representatives of (a) GMB, (b) Unite the union, (c) Prospect and (d) CSEU since his appointment on 21 April 2023.
- Answer
-
As Ministry of Defence (MOD) procurement contracts are overwhelmingly with primes and SMEs, direct responsibility for employment relations in the defence industrial sector typically sits with private employers. In respect of the MOD workforce, I recently held a ‘Town Hall’ meeting at DE&S in Abbeywood to discuss psychological safety and other matters relating to the workplace, and will continue to engage with the full spectrum of partners from industry, and within the Defence Enterprise.
