Mr. Lyons: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will review the cost-effectiveness of his Department's procurement
policy. [200124]
Mr. Ingram: Defence Procurement Policy is kept under continual review. For example, in 2004 the Defence Procurement Agency (DPA)
undertook a major review of its performance in the implementation of Smart Acquisition and is now implementing a major change
programme to implement more consistently good performance across the agency. At departmental level, we have also identified
proposals for the establishment of a senior level procurement process owner to improve procurement across the Department and have
established a new Acquisition Policy Board, chaired by my noble friend the Minister for Defence Procurement, that will, amongst
other matters, review defence procurement policy issues.

Mr. Swayne: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps he is taking to ensure that capabilities of the Falcon system
remain as specified in the operational requirements issued in November 2000. [28719]
Dr. Moonie: A key element of Smart Acquisition is an evolutionary requirements process that reflects the need to trade between time,
cost and performance. Therefore, the Falcon capability requirement may evolve from that set out in November 2000, to ensure delivery
of the most effective solution within cost and time constraints. We will, however, ensure that the competing consortiums are kept
fully informed of the requirements against which their bids are being assessed.
