Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Bach on 10 January (W A 7 ) concerning legal proceedings between the Ministry of Defence and the Environmental Tectonics Corporation, what is the nature of the dispute and the contract to which it relates. [HL674]

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

The current legal proceedings between the parties concerns the value and scope of a claim from ETC for additional work on a contract (Contract No. AES IA1279) that supplied integrated avionics maintenance trainers (IAMT) to the Royal Air Force in 2002. Legal proceedings are now held in abeyance pending a negotiated resolution of the dispute.
