§ Mr. KennedyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the proposed privatisation of certain services at Tain bombing range.
§ Mr. SainsburyOn 24 March 1988, we informed the trades unions of our intention to seek tenders for the provision of services at Tain. If these services are put out to contract, some seven civilian staff would be affected. However, no final decision will be made until the tenders have been assessed and compared with the cost of current arrangements.
