Ministry of Defence

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make a statement on the future status of the Logistic Information Systems Agency.

Answer: Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future status of the Logistic Information Systems Agency. [157803] Mr. Spellar: As part of the restructuring of the Defence Logistics Organisation, the Logistic Information Systems Agency will cease to be a Defence Agency with effect from 1 April 2001. Its functions will then become part of the unified Logistic Applications Integrated Project Team (IPT) within the Defence Communication Services Agency. The removal of Agency status will avoid potential complications in the management arrangements for the new IPT. This is largely an administrative measure and will not, in itself, result in any geographical relocation or redundancies for staff.
