PUBLIC EXPENDITURE

Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library copies of his Department's force structure cost model. [196963]

Mr Philip Hammond, Secretary of State for Defence: I am withholding the information requested as its disclosure would be commercially sensitive and would prejudice the economic interests of the United Kingdom as well as the capability, effectiveness and security of the armed forces.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT

Parliament has been dissolved until after the General Election on 12th December and there are now no MPs. This website is for reference of my work when I was a Member of Parliament.

I am not seeking re-election.
