§ Mr. Menzies CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to receive the Defence Research Agency's study of future logistic vehicles; and if he will publish it when he does so.
§ Mr. AitkenThe study into future logistic vehicles policy is being led by my Department's operational requirements staff. As part of this activity, we have sponsored the Defence Research Agency's vehicle conceptual study and expect to receive their report in mid-January. My Department's report is scheduled for completion in June; it will not be published but those companies which contributed to the conceptual study will be briefed once the results have been fully evaluated.
