HC Deb 28 October 1997 vol 299 c794W
Ms Shipley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the future management of the Army's equipment support. [13093]

Dr. Reid

I have instigated a formal review of the Army's Equipment Support in order to determine whether agency status or other options for equipment support, including privatisation, contractorisation or partnering arrangements with Industry would best meet the Army's requirements.

Comments and contributions from those with an interest in the equipment support services provided by the Director General Equipment Support (Army) on behalf of the Quartermaster General Army will be welcomed and should be sent by 7 November to:

  • Major General P. V. R. Besgrove CBE
  • Director General Equipment Support (Army)
  • HQ QMG
  • Monxton Road
  • Andover
  • Hants SP11 8HT.
