§ Mr. Terry DavisTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has any plans to relocate the procurement division of his Department from the Avon area to the west midlands.
§ Mr. Kenneth CarlisleIt remains my view that collocating the Procurement Executive in Bristol/Bath is the best solution, and I hope that we shall be successful in doing so. However, should this solution prove for any reason to be unachievable, the west midlands would certainly be among the alternative locations reconsidered.
