Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make it her policy to ensure that the National
Agreement for the Engineering Construction Industry is made mandatory. [145490]
Mr. Sutcliffe: The Government believe that voluntary collective agreements should not be legally enforceable unless all the parties
covered by such agreements want it. To do otherwise would undermine the voluntarist nature of collective bargaining in this country
and dissuade parties from entering voluntary agreements.

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the impact of the joint force Harrier
programme on the operational capability and engineering efficiency of the RAF's GR7 and the Royal Navy's FA2 Harriers; and if he
will make a statement. [134251]
Mr. Spellar: The advances made in joint force Harrier (JFH) operational capability have already been demonstrated on the world
stage. In the first six months of its existence, No. 3 Group of RAF Strike Command which own JFH and, in particular, its embarked
RAF Harrier GR7 and Navy Sea Harrier FA2 squadrons, have made major contributions to Operation Palliser (Sierra Leone) as well as
the recent Mediterranean deployment by the aircraft carrier HMS Invincible. As an international means of power projection, an
aircraft carrier with fully integrated JFH units embarked is a considerable national asset and one which has already proved its
potent deterrent value. The benefits have also been significant in the supporting areas where a slim, but truly joint staff
organisation allows for rapid planning and execution of integrated operations. This arrangement also benefits exercise planning and
will lead to more integrated--and therefore considerably improved--use of training opportunities.
At station and squadron level, the engineering efficiency of JFH units will not be affected in the short term, as the units remain
at their current air stations. In the longer term, direct engineering efficiencies are limited by the significant differences
between the Harrier GR7 and the Sea Harrier FA2 aircraft and their systems. However, maximum use is being made of collocation in
2003 to develop integrated support facilities for RAF and RN aircraft, an example being a combined facility for the repair and test
of Pegasus engines. In the longer term, convergence of trade structures is expected to deliver a more flexible and deplorable
workforce. Within RAF Strike Command, the Joint Force Harrier Role Office now discharges a number of engineering functions that were
previously split between a number of departments and commands. This Role Office is built as a lean, joint organisation and provides
key support to joint force Harrier staffs and other departments.
For the future, JFH will take part in the development of new support concepts and technologies associated with the Future Carrier
Borne Aircraft (FCBA). These are intended to deliver significant through-life savings compared to current Harrier and Sea Harrier
aircraft by large reductions in the engineering effort required in service.

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the impact of the merging of the Royal Air
Force's and Royal Navy's trade structures resulting from the Joint Force Harrier programme; and if he will make a statement.
[134255]
Mr. Spellar: The Joint Force Harrier (JFH) initiative does not require the aircraft engineering trade structures of the Royal Air
Force and Royal Navy to be merged. For the present, Royal Air Force Harrier squadrons and Royal Navy Sea Harrier squadrons will
employ engineering personnel of their own services, organised within their existing trade groups and specialisations. It would not
be practicable, nor is it desired, to introduce new trade structures for JFH that do not align with wider RAF and RN arrangements.
However, the desirability of converging aircraft engineering trade structures has been recognised, and the training and employment
of aircraft engineering personnel is under review at many levels within MOD departments on a tri-service basis. The potential for
JFH to act as a sounding board and catalyst for this is clear, especially after collocation in 2003 when RAF and RN engineers will
be working alongside each other at RAF Cottesmore and RAF Wittering.
