Defence Equipment: Procurement
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reason has he cancelled the contract with NP Aerospace to provide x-ray scanners for Army bomb disposal units.
- Answer
-
The contract was terminated following careful consideration and agreement from key internal stakeholders as the best value for money way forward for the Army. The termination does not create a capability gap as an interim solution is already in place.
