§ Mr. Keith SimpsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to hold a departmental open day. [15337]
§ Dr. ReidThere are no plans at present for a central departmental open day. Considerable effort is put into publicising the work of the Department and the individual Services. My Department has an annual touring exhibition, the Services Presentation Teams provide information on MOD and the Services, and many individual units and bases hold local open days.
