HC Deb 13 July 1994 vol 246 c632W
Mr. John Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about possible defence-agency status for the base storage and distribution organisation of the Army.

Mr. Hanley

I have decided that the Army base storage and distribution organisation should be considered as a candidate for defence agency status, under the next steps initiative. A prior options study will be undertaken to establish whether agency status or other options would be appropriate. I would welcome comments from interested parties. Comments should be sent by 9 September 1994 to:

  • Major General D. L. Burden CBE
  • Director General Logistic Support (Army)
  • Headquarters Quartermaster General
  • Portway
  • Monxton Road
  • Andover
  • Hants SP11 8HT
