The Ministry of Defence keeps the size and location of its bases under constant review. Building on initial work that has been done to identify the MOD's core sites, the Department is undertaking further work to examine where estate rationalisation may be possible. This work is consistent with the Department's contribution to the Government's Independent Review of Public Sector Rationalisation--the "Lyons Review". On 21 July we announced a number of specific reviews. These were: a review of the Defence Logistics Organisation's locations; a review of Defence Airfields; and a review of Royal Marines Basing, each of which may result in the relocation of civilian personnel. In addition, a number of relocations relating to the RAF's review of Air Combat Service Units and other minor units were announced. The MOD submitted a significant package of relocation proposals to the Lyons Review, which would result in around 3,900 service and civilian personnel relocating out of London and the South East by 2010. The proposals consist of the closure of Woolwich Station in Greenwich, the closure of the Army Technical Foundation College (ATFC) at Arborfield, relocation of the Disposal Services Agency (DSA) to the West Country, collocation of Defence Medical Services Training Centre (DMSTC) facilities and rationalisation of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratories (DSTL).
