§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all instances of damage to armed services equipment by private contractors reported for each year since 1990, together with the cost in each instance and the total cost.
§ Mr. AitkenThe information could not be provided without incurring disproportionate cost and effort. My Department does not maintain central records of such instances, however MOD contract conditions address such possibilities, and are invoked as necessary.
