What does the Labour Chair think of this? She's not mentioned.
The Labour shadow secretary, who's not on the committee, has a dip at Tory ministers. That's his job. But look at his background, Economic and then Financial secretary to the Treasury. I wonder why he didn't mention the Treasury's key role?
MoD's 'delivers the vast majority on time and in budget' is true, but both it and the committee, over many decades, have steadfastly refused to ask how, and why lessons are not learned. Far too embarrassing.
A normal day at the PAC office.
