§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence (Dr. Lewis Moonie)The Ministry of Defence today launches its Stewardship Report on the Defence Estate 2002.
The Department published "In Trust & On Trust—A Strategy for the Defence Estate" in 2000 containing aims and objectives for the future management of the estate. One of the commitments made was that the MOD would report annually on its progress towards meeting these aims and the launch of the Stewardship Report on the Defence Estate 2002 continues that commitment.
Copies of the Report will be placed in both Libraries of the House.
