Afghanistan

Question

(2) how many of the companies who will undertake modifications of vehicles returning from Afghanistan to make them fit for use on UK roads have undertaken contract work during operations in Afghanistan; and if he will make a statement;

Mrs Moon:

Answer

I am withholding information on how much the Department has allocated to the modification programme, as negotiations with contractors are currently ongoing, and disclosure would prejudice commercial interests. Decisions on the companies that will be involved in the work, and how much of it will be undertaken by the Defence Support Group or other agencies, will be made as the contractual process is finalised.
