Contingent Liability On Defence Review Training Costs

EDM number 872 in 2008-09, proposed by Andrew Mackinlay on 24/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Defence expenditure.

That this House does not approve the Government's proposed authorisation of a contingent liability in excess of £250,000 associated with the Defence Training Review set out in the Departmental Minute laid before Parliament on 17 February 2009, for which there is no specific authority; notes that only two copies of the Minute have been provided to the House; further notes that the Minute and the reference to it in the Votes and Proceedings for 23 February 2009 provide no information on which the House can come to a considered view on the proposed liability; and requests the Government to refrain from incurring the liability until approval has been given by a resolution of the House consequent on a thorough examination by the Committee of Public Accounts and the relevant departmental select committee.

This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
