Using £100 million as a nominal threshold for determining major programmes, the following table provides information on the major programmes included in the MOD Non Equipment Investment Plan. It should be noted that many front line equipment programmes also have IT elements embedded within them; our agencies have no IT programmes of the relevant magnitude.
