Ministry Of Defence Procurement Policies

EDM number 1120 in 2003-04, proposed by Gerry Steinberg on 04/05/2004.

That this House questions the wisdom of the Ministry of Defence's procurement policies, as it has been revealed that during the major hostilities in Iraq, the Swiss Government refused to honour an ammunition contract seemingly for political reasons and suspended deliveries which could have had horrific consequences; and therefore believes that any such contracts for vital equipment and goods needed by British forces, which would be used during times of conflict, should in future be supplied by British companies wherever possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
