Lord Astor of Hever

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many senior responsible owners (SROs) have been appointed by the Ministry of Defence; what are the responsibilities and dates of appointment of such SROs; and whether they plan to appoint further SROs. [HL8]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Bach)

Senior responsible owners (SROs) are appointed to oversee the delivery of complex business change or new military capability programmes and their benefits. These typically involve planning and ensuring coherence across a number of top level budget holder areas and/or lines of development.

The MoD's major non-equipment acquisition and change programmes are brigaded into the Defence Change Programme (DCP). The principal twelve programmes within the DCP each have an SRO, as does the DCP itself and other programmes under the governance of the DCP. An SRO has also been appointed to each of six major new military capability programmes. There are other SROs outside these
