Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 35 – Army Pensions
Vote 36 - Department of Defence
Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet

9:00 am

Mr. Maurice Quinn:

I hope I am capturing the full range of the points the Chairman is making. If we lose the jet completely we do not have an arrangement in place to procure an alternative. If the jet goes out of service we have alternative means of transport available to its users. We have the standard maintenance plan for the Lear, as we had for the Gulfstream IV in its turn, which is to maximise and optimise the serviceability of the aircraft. We have that kind of matrix of services available. We do not have a procurement process for an alternative jet.
