Elective Procurement Question
Having spent time reading the Canadian F18 and the Carrier threads, it seems that politicians are spending too much time interfering in the procurement process. in addition, defence procurement organisations seem unable to present an acceptable level of capability for the available budget.
Speaking now of the UK, various defence select committees seem to have a better handle on what is required, both from a budgetary and capability perspective. (Information possibly supplied by many parties without excessive bias?).
..and my genuine question is:
Should much more of the responsibility for actual procurement be assigned to these committees and consider the other organisations as specialist sources of information.
