General information on Ministry of Defence spending with individual companies is available in UK Defence Statistics 2010 at table 1.17. Organisations paid £5 million or more in 2009-10. I will write to the hon. Member with additional information as soon as this is available.

Substantive answer from Peter Luff to Angus Robertson:

I undertook to write to you in response to your Parliamentary Questions answered on 14 December 2010 (Official Report, column 714W-715W) about the value of payments made to the subsidiaries of a range of our largest suppliers.

Providing this information has taken far longer than it should have done, and I can only apologise for the delay in answering your questions.

I am now in a position to provide you with the information that you have requested, and details of the past five financial years, for which data is available, have been placed in the Library of the House.
