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 Directorate of Transport and Movements (Army).

Mr. Hanley

I have decided that, subject to the satisfactory conclusion of normal trade union consultation, the Directorate of Transport and Movements (Army) should be considered as a candidate for defence agency status under the next steps initiative. The directorate will undergo a prior options study to determine whether agency status or alternative options would be most appropriate. Comments and ideas would be welcomed from any interested party. They should be sent by Friday 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
