15. Mr. David Martin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will outline his future policy towards achieving value for money.

Mr. Sainsbury

We have introduced a range of initiatives including the planned introduction of the new management strategy; the pursuit of a more commercial approach in the area of defence procurement, and the extension of competiton in defence support services. We shall continue to pursue these efficiency measures energetically.
