Letter from Keith Ellender to Mr. Paul Flynn, dated 9 January 1996:
The Secretary of State has asked me, as Chief Executive of the Disposal Sales Agency, to reply to your question asking what new proposals he has to increase the receipts from the sale of redundant equipment.My Agency's Framework Document (a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House) together with the in-year targets (Official Record col 1197, of 20 December 1994 and col 1349, of 19 July 1995) set out the strategy and achievements required by the Agency. New initiatives reside in greater industrial involvement in the disposal sales process, primarily through commercial storage and marketing agreements which operate on a profit sharing basis.I hope you find this information useful.
