Frank Field – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Frank Field on 2014-06-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what financial provision her Department has made to cover the (a) ongoing legal costs of and (b) costs of a potential settlement resulting from the binding arbitration process brought by Raytheon Systems Ltd.

Karen Bradley

Ongoing legal costs will be met from departmental resources, although no
specific financial provision has been made for this or for the costs of a
potential settlement. The costs of a potential settlement have been recognised as a
contingent liability in the Home Office accounts since 2011-12.
