Army personnel
The changeover of food supply contractor on 1 October 2006 resulted in a change in the method of calculating the DMR. Under the previous contractor, the rate included an element for their management fee, while under the current contract, that fee is paid centrally. The effect is that the DMR now appears lower, but it still purchases the same quantity and quality of food product.
Armed Forces: Dogs
Mike Penning:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the daily budget allowance for food is for military dogs in the (a) Army, (b) Royal Air Force, (c) Royal Navy and (d) Ministry of Defence Police. [124294]
Derek Twigg
[holding answer 1 March 2007]: The information requested is not held centrally and would vary depending on the breed and work of the dog.
Ballistic Missile Defence
Mark Pritchard:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to announce details of the UK's involvement in the American ballistic missile defence shield. [124678]
Des Browne:
The UK already makes a valuable contribution to the US missile defence system through the upgrade of the radar at RAF Fylingdales and our well-established technical cooperation programmes. There is no set timetable for any decisions on further participation in that programme.
Cluster Munitions
Mr. Moore:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what discussions he has had with his (a) United States, (b) Chinese, (c) Russian and (d) Israeli counterparts on the outcome of the Oslo conference on cluster munitions; what the outcome was of those discussions; and if he will make a statement. [124542]
Mr. Ingram:
No such discussions have taken place with Chinese, Russian or Israeli counterparts. United States officials have been debriefed at official level on the outcome of the conference.
