Karen Bradley

The Home Office would like the dispute with Raytheon to be concluded as swiftly
as possible. It is not unusual that an international arbitration of this
complexity should take a considerable time to resolve. The Home Office has
done everything possible to progress the Arbitration as quickly as possible.
The evidential hearings concluded in April 2013.
