1 Introduction
1. The Ministry of Defence's Annual Report and Accounts
2005-06, published on 14 July 2006, combines the Annual Performance
Report and Consolidated Departmental Resource Accounts for the
year ended 31 March 2006.[1]
This is the fourth year in which the Ministry of Defence (MoD)
has combined its Annual Performance Report and Consolidated Departmental
Resource Accounts into one document and the first year in which,
in line with other Government departments, the MoD has published
its Accounts before the Summer parliamentary recess.
2. Our inquiry examined both the Annual Performance
Report and the Consolidated Departmental Resource Accounts. We
took evidence from Mr Bill Jeffrey, the MoD's Permanent Under
Secretary of State (PUS) and Mr Trevor Woolley, the MoD's Finance
Director, on 24 October 2006. We received written evidence from
the MoD both before and after the oral evidence session. Both
oral and written evidence are printed with this report.
