  • Private Sector Companies Paid £50 Million Or More by the Ministry of Defence in 2008/09: by Holding Company
    CHAPTER 1 - FINANCE DEFENCE CONTRACTS Table 1.17a Private Sector Companies paid £50 million or more by the Ministry of Defence in 2008/09: By Holding Company This table shows a subset of the data contained within Table 1.17, providing a listing of the Private Sector Companies that were paid £50 million or more through the Financial Management Shared Service Centre (FMSSC) in 2008/09. This listing details the individual subsidiaries listed in Table 1.17 'rolled up' by holding company and single entity private companies where no other subsidiary has been recorded by the FMSSC. The term 'holding company" refers to companies which are full or part owner of other companies (subsidiaries and joint ventures). The table includes only those subsidiaries where the MOD has made payments during 2008/09 and therefore, is not an exhaustive listing of all subsidiaries and joint ventures relating to that holding company. It also excludes those companies and/or joint ventures which work as part of a consortium. Payments to joint ventures have been allocated to their parent holding companies in proportion to their equity holdings. The table excludes al payments made to public sector bodies, government departments and agencies, local authorities, MOD trading funds, multi nation project management agencies, charities and associations. Please note that the placement of companies by payment bandings may differ from Table 1.17 as the sum of the annual payments made to the holding company will exceed the values for individual subsidiaries listed in Table 1.17. The composition of Holding Companies in terms of their subsidiaries is derived as at 31 March 2009.
