Procurement of kilts for the Royal Regiment of Scotland will be carried out under public procurement regulations, which are applicable under United Kingdom and European Union law. Sourcing the tartan will be the responsibility of the successful bidder. Award of the contract for the kilts will be based on a thorough assessment of quality and technical standards as defined by the user, as well as on cost in order to ensure best value for money for the taxpayer.

I thank the Minister for his response and for the correspondence that he sent me on this matter. However, there remains considerable concern in Scotland that the new tartan might well be manufactured outwith Scotland, possibly in eastern Europe. On this, the very day before the official formation of the new Royal Regiment of Scotland, will the Minister assure the House that, just as Jersey potatoes must come from Jersey and Newcastle brown ale from Newcastle, the new Scottish tartan for the new Scottish regiment will be manufactured in Scotland?

I know that my hon. Friend is trying valiantly on this issue, but we are constrained by European regulation. [Interruption.] Perhaps I should explain that the current prime contractor for the kilts is based in England.

On a point of accuracy, Robert Noble and Co. makes the tartan, the prime contractor is a Yorkshire-based company and a company in Alexandria manufactures the kilts. The contract, which is a £1 million contract for 5,000 kilts, will go out to tender. There will be a repeat contract for 300 kilts each year. The material in question is not being changed; it is already in use. We are simply standardising the use of a material that used to apply only to certain officers throughout all the ranks.

I am astonished by the Minister's last remark. My understanding is that the firm of John Noble and Co., in Peebles, has made the kilt for the British Army in Scotland since the late 18th century, and that the contract is for 5,000 kilts at a cost of £300,000. The Minister must appreciate that the Scottish soldier's kilt has always been made in Scotland. It is made there now by John Noble and Co., and surely the Minister can see that both its weaving and manufacture should continue to be done in Scotland.

Army kit that used to be made in Lancashire is now being made in China. It is simply unacceptable for the tartan for Scottish kilts to be sourced from Shanghai or any place in eastern Europe, as my hon. Friend the Member for Dundee, West (Mr. McGovern) suggests.

I do not know whether that was a question. There were a number of bidders for the contract to which my hon. Friend refers and, from memory, they all outsourced outside the United Kingdom for the material and its manufacturing. Indeed, the company that previously had responsibility for the manufacture of the uniform in question—it was one of the two main competitors in the bid—was also seeking to outsource in China.
