Ministry of Defence
- Question
- Statement on the Army's engineer resources.
- Answer
-
Mr. Hill: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the Army's engineer resources. [42870] Dr. Reid: The consultation process on the conclusions of the Engineer Logistics Review has now ended. The review recommended that the Engineer Resources functions carried out at Long Marston should be disaggregated to new service providers and not transfer to Chilwell, as previously announced. A number of representations were received from the trades unions, local councils, individual employees and hon. Members. Having considered these representations very carefully, I am satisfied that no issues have arisen which would call into question the study's recommendations. I intend, therefore, to proceed to implement disaggregation with the objective of ceasing operations at the Long Marston Depot by December 1999.
