HC Deb 07 March 2001 vol 364 cc222-3W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what research facilities exist at the Centre for Defence Medicine; how much money has been earmarked for the development of research facilities; and if he will make statement. [151801]

Dr. Moonie

The Centre for Defence Medicine will develop medical research opportunities which are relevant to the Defence Medical Services in close conjunction with its partners, in particular the University of Birmingham. It will also work closely with other elements of the Ministry of Defence concerned with medical research activities. No dedicated military medical research facilities are currently envisaged.
