The answers to Questions 794 and 11461 relate to document D/VCDS&2ndPUS/8/1/4 PR 11 which refers to a report into improving our processes for assessing equipment safety risk, not the commissioning of an investigation into the reasons for the delay between Ministerial endorsement of CWS and its entry into service.
