| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “And specified exactly what we want.” | 6 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “I am probably putting you in an impossible position here, but in cost terms, what are we talking? Is it in the billions or the hundreds of millions?” | 28 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “I am talking about the new one. If it is not in the new SDR as a priority, would that suggest it is not a real commitment to deliver that?” | 30 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “Following on from that, I have been raising this issue for a couple of years now, and I questioned the two previous Defence Secretaries, Ben Wallace and Grant Shapps.

| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “William, do you want to add anything?” | 7 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “So we would struggle?” | 4 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “We have touched on intelligence, and obviously we are pretty pre-eminent in Europe, but it took reliance on Starlink and American systems and so on. Are we anywhere near being able to stand on our own in Europe on that? I think I know the answer, but I would be interested in your view.” | 54 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “Based on where we are today, would we struggle to replace those capabilities if the US stepped back?” | 18 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “That is very helpful. I will follow on from Lincoln Jopp’s questions on the capability gaps if the US pulled out or reduced its commitment here. You touched on this—we have talked about refuelling aircraft, logistics and intelligence. There are already major logistics and capability shortfalls in NATO—it is not just us…” | 139 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “That may answer the question.” | 5 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “Yes.” | 1 |
| 29 Apr 2025 | Defence Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 520) “It has to be as part of that?” | 8 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “Sorry to interrupt, but there are some very big and important projects here. They are all important, but there are some very big ones.” | 24 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “How would you characterise the red projects, of which there are eight?” | 12 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “How many of those are at risk of failing completely at the moment?” | 13 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “So none of the eight that are currently in red?” | 10 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “So what is the delivery date for Wedgetail?” | 8 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “And also not at cost either.” | 6 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “The Infrastructure and Projects Authority’s latest report of 2023-24 lists eight defence projects as red and 36 as amber. That is about 90% of the projects. How do you categorise that performance, Mr Williams?” | 34 |
| 28 Apr 2025 | Public Accounts Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 716) “Well, there were only two of those in the last report.” | 11 |
