Defence written question – answered at on 20 March 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made on phase four of the merger to establish Defence Equipment and Support; how the merger plans have changed since they were first made; and what representations on the merger he has received from external stakeholders.
Phase four of the merger identified how to optimise DE and S following its establishment in April 2007. As intended, its recently published business strategy (2008-2012) and blueprint set out the strategic direction and priorities for DE and S and how it will look and operate by around 2012. Both documents are available via the MOD website at:
DE and S is now developing detailed plans to deliver the blueprint under a single coherent change programme called PACE—Performance, Agility, Confidence and Efficiency, which is aimed at delivering increased effectiveness in support to the armed forces.
A range of stakeholders across the Department and in industry have been consulted in taking these plans forward.
