Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the total value is of Swan Hunter's and BAE Systems Marine's contracts for the (a) ALSLs and (b) Type 45 Destroyer; what the current status is of the contracted programmes; when the programmes are expected to be completed; and if he will make a statement. [139652] Mr. Hoon: This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the hon. Member. Letter from Robert Walmsley to Mike Hancock, dated 28 November 2000: I am replying to your question to the Secretary of State for Defence concerning the value of contracts placed with Swan Hunter and BAE SYSTEMS Marine for the Alternative Landing Ships Logistic (ALSLs) and Type 45 Destroyer, the status of the contracted programmes and expected completion dates. This matter falls within my area of responsibility as Chief of Defence Procurement and Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency. The value of the contracts to be placed with Swan Hunter and BAE SYSTEMS Marine for 4 ALSLs is expected to be approximately £300M. Negotiations with both contractors are currently taking place to agree contract terms, conditions and price. It is our aim to bring these ships into service between Autumn 2004 and Summer 2006. On the Type 45, the MoD has not placed any contracts with Swan Hunter or BAE SYSTEMS Marine. It remains our plan to place the contract for the first three Type 45s with BAE SYSTEMS Electronic, the nominated Prime Contractor for the Type 45 Programme, by the end of this year, with the first ship to enter service in 2007. As the Secretary of State said in the House on 11 July (Official Record, cols. 701/2), we intend that the first and third ships will be assembled by BAE SYSTEMS Marine and the second by Vosper Thornycroft. The Prime Contractor will sub-contract to these two shipbuilders at prices to be agreed between the Companies. Negotiations are still underway and we are not yet in a position to state the value of work that might be placed with a particular yard. The planned modular assembly approach also means that there will be the opportunity for other shipbuilders to bid for the competed element of Type 45 manufacture work.

Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what guidelines have been set for the future Scout and Cavalry system and tactical reconnaissance armoured combat equipment requirement; what ISTAR capabilities TRACER and FSCS will employ; and if he will make a statement. [138976] Dr. Moonie: This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the hon. Member. Letter from Robert Walmsley to Mr. Mike Hancock, dated 22 November 2000: I am replying to your question to the Secretary of State for Defence on the collaborative Future Scout and Cavalry System and Tactical Reconnaissance Armoured Combat Equipment Requirement (TRACER) programme. This matter falls within my area of responsibility as Chief of Defence Procurement and Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency. You asked what guidelines have been set for the programme. In approving the programme, Minister (Defence Procurement) directed that the work on TRACER should be part of an integrated strategy of studies which would include work to determine the role that Unmanned Air Vehicles would play in battlefield reconnaissance. Balance of Investment studies will inform a decision on the optimum mix of sensors and platforms to meet the land commander's critical information requirements. On the question of what ISTAR capabilities will be employed, TRACER/FSCS will form the land-based component of the wider Information, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) assets. To meet commanders' requirements for detailed combat intelligence, these systems will need to be capable of gathering, processing and disseminating accurate and timely information. Of primary importance will be information on the enemy strength, deployment and equipment. To provide a complete and detailed picture of the battlefield Commanders will also require data on terrain, navigability, obstacles and routes. In the context of TRACER, two competing consortia are considering a wide range of candidate technologies. These include surveillance systems, a sophisticated sensor suite, a balanced survivability package including stealth technology, an improved target detection and recognition capability, Defensive Aids Suites and physical protection in the form of advanced armour technologies. A decision on the final system architecture will take account of the outcome of the current Project Definition phase, due to complete in July 2002, and the parallel studies into the use of Unmanned Air Vehicles for battlefield reconnaissance.

Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) if DERA Boscombe Down is being used as the public sector comparator or reference project in the private finance initiative procurement of future strategic tanker aircraft; [139163] (2) how many wide-bodied jet aircraft will be accommodated at DERA Boscombe Down under the proposed future strategic tanker aircraft project; [139162] (3) if he will list the members of the four industry consortia involved in the future strategic tanker aircraft project; and which of them propose to operate the project from (a) RAF Brize Norton and (b) DERA Boscombe Down. [139160] Dr. Moonie: This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the hon. Member. Letter from Robert Walmsley to Mr. Robert Key, dated 22 November 2000: I am replying to your questions (139163, 139162 & 139160) to the Secretary of State for Defence about DERA Boscombe Down and the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) project. This matter falls within my area of responsibility as Chief of Defence Procurement and Chief Executive of the Defence Procurement Agency. FSTA is planned to begin replacing the RAF's current fleet of VC10 and Tristar tanker/transport aircraft from around 2007. We are currently investigating the potential for achieving a service based solution to the requirement under the Private Finance Initiative. Our core requirement is for an air to air refuelling service with some elements of air transport capability. It is not for a replacement operating base. The current fleet is based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. We are aware that DERA is promoting the Boscombe Down airfield as a potential operating base for FSTA and seeking to act as a commercial partner to the FSTA consortia. Our work on development of the Public Sector Comparator has concluded that RAF Brize Norton is likely to offer the most cost effective operating base for the FSTA service. However, I should stress that this is not a final decision: under a PFI procurement strategy we are prepared to consider an innovative bid that utilises an alternative base. It would need to demonstrate value for money whilst protecting operational capability. The exact number of aircraft required to meet our output based requirements for the FSTA service will be for the consortia to propose. However, we currently understand that, whatever operating base is selected, between 20 and 25 wide-bodied civil aircraft will be needed. The following consortia submitted outline proposals in November 1999: Air Reach--Rolls Royce, and now including Peel Airports and ASIG BAE Systems Strategic Support Management--comprising SERCO and Spectrum Capital Eurotanker--comprising Brown and Root, FRA and Thomson CSF In submitting these proposals all of the consortia favoured RAF Brize Norton as the main operating base. However, the makeup of each consortium is still to be finalised and we have not yet launched the formal bidding process. It is, therefore, too early to say whether a Boscombe Down solution is likely to feature in the final bids. It will be for the individual consortia to decide how to frame their proposed solutions.
