§ Mr. SwayneTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place a copy of the Director of Land Warfare's "Rapid Effects" paper in the Library. [15514]
§ Mr. Ingram[holding answer 16 November 2001]: The paper "A Rapid Effect Capability for the Future Army" was produced for internal discussion purposes. It has been used subsequently to inform wider force development work. It has also contributed to other work to determine the optimum balance of future United Kingdom land forces.
A version of the paper, which omits sensitive material, has been prepared and I will arrange for copies to be placed in the Library of the House.
