Departmental Training
Mr. Arbuthnot: To ask the Secretary of State for
Defence pursuant to the written ministerial statement
of 15 October 2009, Official Report, columns 34-36WS,
on defence acquisition (independent review), what
steps he plans to take to accelerate the improvement of
key skills in (a) the Defence Equipment and Support
Organisation and (b) his Department’s head office;
and if he will make a statement. [295774]
Mr. Quentin Davies: We will be examining options for
accelerating skills both in defence equipment and support
and in MOD head office, and will be addressing this as
part of the Strategy for Acquisition Reform to be
published in the new year.
EU Emissions Trading Scheme
Dr. Murrison: To ask the Secretary of State for
Defence what proposed new (a) revenue streams and
(b) opportunities to sell products and services his
Department has discussed with the Met Office; and if
he will make a statement. [295216]
Mr. Kevan Jones: As part of the Met Office’s business
planning, the development of new and innovative weather
and climate services for both Government and commercial
customers is being pursued, For example, the Met Office
has recently launched new web services for the aviation
and marine industries to help with operational decisionmaking.
It has also identified potential for services to
better support health care planning and delivery and to
help society plan for and adapt to climate change.
Work is also under way on the next steps of the
Operational Efficiency Programme review of the Met
Office. This will examine, among other things, the potential
to expand the Met Office’s commercial activities and
opportunities to develop specific services in some cases
with private sector partners.
Ex-servicemen: Radiation Exposure
Mr. Todd: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence
what meetings have been held between representatives
of his Department and representatives of nuclear test
veterans to establish the boundaries of a possible
settlement since June 2009; and if he will make a
statement. [296050]
Mr. Kevan Jones: Discussions have been held and are
still ongoing between the parties. However, in order to
protect the Department’s position grounds for appeal
were lodged with the Court of Appeal on 12 October,
which was the latest date allowed under the permission
to do so granted by the High Court. It is important to
note that this does not mean a formal end to the
attempts to negotiate settlement.
Internal Investment Approvals Board
Angus Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for
Defence who the members of his Department’s
