HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 c84W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what contracts his Department has had with BMARC since 1979.

Mr. Hanley

Comprehensive records for the period in question are no longer available. Current records show that BMARC received 36 contracts with a total value of £42,100,000 between September 1985 and July 1991. This includes contracts placed during the period—1989–1991 — when BMARC was known as Astra Defence Systems Ltd.
