Ministry of Defence

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if the Director of Military Operations participated in Defence Munitions Rationalisation Study 2.

Answer: Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if the Director of Military Operations participated in Defence Munitions Rationalisation Study 2. [68908] Mr. Ingram: Director of Military Operations did not participate in the Defence Munitions Rationalisation Study 2. The study drew its knowledge of anticipated Tri Service munitions requirements from both the current and future munitions equipment owners who were asked to take into account the latest output from the Ministry of Defence's Stockpile Planning Group. Other MOD customers and internal stakeholders (particularly Strike Command given the nature of the RAF tasks currently undertaken at Defence Munitions Dean Hill) have been made aware of the proposal to close DM Dean Hill.
