HC Deb 08 February 1994 vol 237 c233W
19. Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what consideration he has given to the scope for efficiency savings in his Department.

Mr. Aitken

Since 1988, when our efficiency programme began, improvements have been made which are now worth some £1.8 billion a year. The "Front Line First" study is currently looking for ways to make substantial further efficiency savings and reductions in support and administrative costs.
