Boeing E-7: Procurement

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how robust in terms of (1) price, and (2) delivery, the approved business case is for the procurement of the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail.

Answer

All Ministry of Defence (MOD) business cases undergo rigorous assessment in accordance with Joint Service Publication 655, which includes assessments of both cost and deliverability.

This was subject to approval by MOD Head Office and HM Treasury.
