HC Deb 18 June 1990 vol 174 cc435-6W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on any proposals he has to privatise the organisation, maintenance or administration of the Penally, Manorbier and Castlemartin ranges in Pembrokeshire.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

There are presently no plans to contractorise the administration of any of these ranges. However the MOD is constantly exploring options to increase efficiency, and such a course could not be ruled out if it could be demonstrated to offer better value for money.
