HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 cc481-2W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the contracts(a) initiated and (b) changed by the Defence Logistics Organisation within (i) one week, (ii) two weeks and (iii) one month of the (A) deployment of troops and (B) commencement of hostilities for Operation Telic. [122045]

Mr. Ingram

The Defence Logistics Organisation (DLO) places a large number of contracts on a daily basis in support of a wide spectrum of operational and non-operational requirements. The DLO does not maintain a central record of all contracts, and production of a list of contracts initiated or changed during the periods specified could only be produced at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the Urgent Operational Requirements placed by the Defence Logistics Organisation within(a) one week, (b) two weeks and (c) one month of the commencement of (i) Operation Telic and (ii) the hostilities in Afghanistan. [122046]

Mr. Ingram

No Urgent Operational Requirements were placed by the Defence Logistics Organisation over the periods of the operations stated.
