Defence Select Committee meeitngs
Some interesting comments on procurement this morning. Especially in relation to SME's access to the procurement process. i thought the point was put very well that BaE and Babcocks had in recent years hoovered up many of the SME's.....But I thought that was govenrment policy under the defence industry diversification strategy brought in by Nu Labour.

Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.

It was the most extraordinary video.
Is it the Rt Hon Mr Mark Francois’s turn?
We can expect fireworks if so!
It’s time for someone to cut through the jargon and call out the nonsense.

No MR Francois is at best a useful henchman to let loose on an errant CS\officer\company rep not suited to run the whole thing.Poiuytrewq wrote: ↑13 Sep 2023, 18:51Oops!bobp wrote: ↑13 Sep 2023, 18:25 It appears the DSC needs a new chairperson

Re: Defence Select Committee meeitngs
I don’t disagree with that but is there an obvious alternative?
