Some parts of MOD have been in & out of agencies more than once since they were civilianised with a view to making them wholly commercial entities. The problem is they are either such niche activities or so tied to certain defence activities that they are not attractive to industry in their current form or with their current commitments because there is either no money to be made or the 'loss making' activities cannot be cut out. While that is the case those civilian posts cannot be cut.
