To ask His Majesty's Government what input members of the House of Lords will have into the proposed select committee on scrutiny of Defence Nuclear Enterprise expenditure and programmes.
The Government recognises the complementary way in which both Houses contribute to the scrutiny function of Parliament as a whole, and appreciates that, once established, the proposed committee may wish to consider specialist advice from outside the House of Commons on certain topics. The Government is proposing that the committee should have the ability to appoint specialist advisers. These appointments would be at the discretion of the committee, but could be selected from the House of Lords.
A high proportion of my constituents proudly serve in our armed forces or are veterans. They want to know that the investment in the DIP is being spent cost-effectively. Given that more than half the capital budget is to be spent on the Defence Nuclear Enterprise—more than on every other bit of technology, equipment and kit for the entire armed forces put together—can the Secretary of State assure me that value for money analysis has been undertaken in line with the Treasury Green Book, and will he improve parliamentary scrutiny?

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there are any Australian naval personnel sited at any U.K. Defence Nuclear Enterprise establishment as part of the AUKUS collaboration in nuclear-propelled submarines.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there are any Australian naval personnel sited at any U.K. Defence Nuclear Enterprise establishment as part of the AUKUS collaboration in nuclear-propelled submarines.
The Ministry of Defence is working closely with Australia and the United States under the AUKUS partnership to deliver conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines for Australia. As part of this collaboration, Australian naval personnel are embedded with the Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) including the Royal Navy, Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO), Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA), and UK Industry to gain the skills and experience required to operate and sustain nuclear-powered submarines. This activity is essential to building Australia's sovereign capability.
