Campaign to Stop the Defence Reform Bill - Say No to GoCo

A campaign to fight the Defence Reform Bill and the formation of a GoCo for defence procurement is now under way.

The Defence Reform Bill proposes privatising 75% of defence procurement and the formation of a government owned contractor operation (GOCO) to manage it.

The two frontrunners for the work are both American companies.

We are really worried about the work going to a GOCO because:

• They threaten job security for existing staff
• GOCO accountability to parliament and voters is not properly defined by the bill.
• Their tax liabilities in the UK are unclear.
• Experts are worried about their ability to deliver during times of conflict.
• They have failed in every country that has tried to introduce them.

Support our campaign to get MPs to vote against the Defence Reform Bill and to sign Early Day Motion 585.
