16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

But you are not sure about the big programmes. You will have to come back to us with what has been allocated.

22
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Is this budget under or overspent at this point in the year?

12
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

But we have established that there is an overspend. Given that, is there any acquisition that has been paused or stopped?

21
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Okay. Is there anything else besides those two? Are there any other major programmes that you have allocated this money to?

21
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

How much money has been allocated to Ajax this year?

10
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Is there anything else across the Quad?

7
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

So what has it been allocated for this year?

9
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

How has that been managed across the Quad?

8
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

So we know what has been allocated for munitions—that is this figure of £1.5 billion.

15
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Right, it has been allocated.

5
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Can you give us an example of anything that has been paused—Type 26, for instance? Has Type 26 been paused?

20
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Has anything else been paused?

5
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

What has been allocated to that this year?

8
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

We have heard about that. Is there anything else? No acquisition has been stopped at this stage?

17
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

So it is part of that. Okay.

7
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

I am just asking for the information.

7
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Do you know what the “Invest” budget is for next year?

11
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

Sorry, so when is this money due to be spent?

10
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

So no big contracts have been paused or stopped, apart from Ajax?

12
16 Dec 2025Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1529)

I am just surprised that you don’t know whether it has or not. We are talking about the financial situation and programmes, and you cannot tell the Committee whether anything has been paused or stopped.
