HC Deb 21 April 1967 vol 745 c191W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what study he has made of the use of independent control of defence expenditure, exemplified by the American Systems Analysis Unit, under the direction of Assistant Secretary Alain Enthoven, details of which have been sent to him.

Mr. Healey

Developments in the Department of Defence in the field of systems analysis were taken into account in the studies which led to the recent changes in organisation within the Ministry of Defence, particularly the appointment of the Chief Adviser (Studies) and the setting up of the Programme Evaluation Group announced in the Statement on Defence Estimates, 1967 (Cmnd. 3203) Chapter I, paragraphs 57 to 59.
