HC Deb 28 November 1994 vol 250 c548W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will state the background and qualifications of the new chief executive of the Defence Research Agency.

Mr. Freeman

We have no plans to replace the current chief executive of the DRA, John Chisholm. Mr. Chisholm graduated from Cambridge university with a BA in mechanical sciences and is a member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers. He has extensive experience in the service industries, having held senior positions in CAP Scientific and the SEMA group. He has been chief executive of the DRA since July 1991.
