HC Deb 28 November 2000 vol 357 c491W
Mr. John Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish the consultants' report into the proposed relocation of DARA at RAF St. Athan to Cardiff International Airport. [138885]

Mr. Spellar

DARA are currently conducting an in-house Investment Appraisal to identify cost effective proposals for the delivery of its future Aircraft Support services. While this process has involved some consultancy support it would not be appropriate to publish details of this commercial sensitive advice. I am therefore withholding this information under exemption 2 (Internal Discussion and Advice) and 7 (Effective Management and Operations of the Public Service) of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
