Ministry of Defence

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a copy of the publication Summary Listing of Field Trial Programmes.

Answer: Matthew Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library a copy of the publication Summary Listing of Field Trial Programmes. [107401] Dr. Moonie: I have consulted widely with my staff concerning this question and have been unable to locate the publication to which the hon. Member referred to in his question. Following extensive discussions, this question has been interpreted as referring to the Field Trial Programme undertaken historically by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, Porton Down. The collation of a listing of the unclassified titles of the field trials undertaken as part of this programme could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
