Letter front J.A.R. Chisholm to Mr Llew Smith, dated 28 January 1993.
In today's written answer the Minister of State for Defence Procurement informed you that I would be replying directly to your question regarding the International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference.The event is being organised by a private company, Spearhead Exhibitions Ltd., and sponsored by the Defence Research Agency. The MOD and the DRA both plan to have stands at the Exhibition. They will also be members of the Conference Committee and will almost certainly he presenting papers at the Conference.I hope you will find this helpful.
