Dr. Moonie

This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the right hon. and learned Member.

Letter from Steve Lloyd to Mr. Menzies Campbell, dated 6 March 2000: I am replying to your Question to the Secretary of State for Defence about our Agency's Key Targets and whether or not they were achieved for 1998–99. All targets were met in full. Details of the achievements are listed below and contained in the Agency's Annual Report and Accounts for 1998–99, copies of which have been placed in the Libraries of the Houses of Parliament. Action taken by the Agency to continue to achieve its targets and where possible improve performance include:

  1. a. The continuing refinement of the Re-organisation of all areas of the Agency, to give a better focus on satisfying tasking needs.
  2. b. A methodology for measuring customer satisfaction prototyped during FY 99/00.
  3. c. The continued pursuit of a clear methodology of true output measurement.
I hope that you will find that this answer gives you the information that you are seeking.
