MoD contractors drop standards and ‘squeeze’ workers to increase profits
Ministry of Defence in Westminster, London
THE Ministry of Defence is being urged to review its practice of outsourcing services after MPs complained that contractors are dropping standards and “squeeze” workers to increase profits.
The defence committee said in its report, published today, that outsourcing appeared to be the default position, with little consideration given to providing services in-house.
It found that the MoD was not always willing to step in and enforce expected standards.
