Privatisation Of Defence Training (EDM297)

Privatisation Of Defence Training

EDM number 297 in 2006-07, proposed by John McDonnell on 27/11/2006.

That this House notes the outstanding contribution made by Civil Service instructional officers, Burnham lecturers and support staff employed by the Ministry of Defence in supporting and delivering training to the armed forces; notes with concern that defence training is currently being privatised and that in the Defence Training Review transformation programme only two consortia have competed for each package in a deal calculated to be worth over Â£19 billion; further notes that there will be no break point for review until 15 years into the contract; is concerned by the poor track record of some of the companies making up the consortia; is further concerned at the concept of selling the whole of the training for the armed forces to foreign investors; believes that the future of training delivery is jeopardised as current staff are unwilling to transfer to the private sector and to relocate; and therefore urges the Government to consider the viable option of an in-house bid or to remove existing staff from the privatisation process.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
