Dr. FoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress is being made with the relocation of the Adjutant General's headquarters.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonA study is now being undertaken to examine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of forming an integrated Army personnel centre outside London. In addition to the headquarters of the Adjutant General and the military secretary, the review will encompass the manning and record offices, regimental pay offices and the Army pay office (officers accounts). The study team is expected to report by the end of the year: no decisions will be taken before the study has been completed and all concerned (including the trade unions) have been fully consulted.
