2011 Report into Defence Procurement I added a note on the publication of one of Carrie s reports on a set of proposals for reform of certain aspects of defence procurement The note was removed on the basis that since he has written many such reports there was no need to single out one I didn t know that but I m not convinced about this argument Firstlt the report is in itself notable since it later became the basis of a piece of legislation which will affect government spending of about 4Bn a year Secondly would it not be better rather than not mentioning any of his reports that have been commissioned by government to try and list all of them I m happy to do such a list Thoughts
