HC Deb 24 October 1989 vol 158 c439W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what proposals he has for further savings on his budget for defence procurements.

Mr. Alan Clark

We will continue to seek value for money through a commercial approach to procurement, including the use of competition to the maximum extent possible. Potential savings or additions to the programme itself are considered each year as part of the long-term costing process.
