I think MoD is slightly better at this now.
Certainly, those responsible have retired (thank goodness) - the only thing you can say about them is they were consistent, ruling for some years afterwards (until 2008 to my personal knowledge, as I have the letters) that aircraft did not have to be functionally safe when offered to the Service for release.
That date, purely by coincidence, was when the Haddon-Cave penny was dropping in MoD, as his recommendations emerged.
Fingers crossed (which is a far better method of safety management than that advocated at the time!).
