HC Deb 19 November 1991 vol 199 c149W
28. Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the "Options for Change" implications for MoD and related employment in south Dorset.

Mr. Alan Clark

Decisions taken to date on "Options for Change" are likely to involve relatively little change to defence-related employment in south Dorset. Other decisions remain to be taken and full consideration will be given to employment aspects where appropriate. Employment in the Defence industry is a matter for the companies concerned.
