§ Mr. BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he will respond to the correspondence to his Department containing the Tim Parry Jonathan Ball Trust's Legacy Project study. [144454]
§ Mr. CaplinThe Ministry of Defence was consulted at official level when the study was under way. The Department subsequently received a copy of the Legacy Project's report following its launch on 5 November 2003. The Report and its recommendations are now being studied. Officials have already made informal contact with the Legacy Project and look forward to discussing the Report in the near future.
A number of my Ministerial colleagues have received letters about the Report and responses are now being prepared.
