§ Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what proposals he has for constructing new regional office premises for sections of his Department in the Bristol area; over what period construction will take place; at what estimated cost; and if he will make a statement on the reason for this development.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleMOD's only current proposal for new office development in the Bristol area is that for procurement executive staff, announced on 27 March 1990. In view of the local planning difficulties that have arisen over our proposals for Keynsham, which have delayed the project by a year, we have recently completed a review of possible alternative locations in the Bristol area and elsewhere; the results are now being assessed.
