Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 17 March 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills whether Jackie Callcutt was involved in the negotiations for the AgustaWestland deal with India which collapsed earlier this year.
Mrs Jackie Callcutt was not involved in the negotiations for the AgustaWestland deal with India that collapsed earlier this year. The deal is a commercial contract negotiated directly by the company. At the time the contract was being negotiated, Mrs Callcut was the first secretary defence and security in the British high commission in New Delhi. As part of her role, she underlined UK Government support to the Indian authorities in reaching a decision to contract with AgustaWestland. As with any embassy overseas, supporting UK companies in this way is a key role of the first secretary defence and security or its equivalent.
