Answer: Mr. Keith Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the (a) initial resource provision, (b) in-year variations, (c) resource outturn, (d) gross operating cost and (e) net operating cost for the RAF Logistic Support Service was for financial year 1999-2000. [181743] Mr. Ingram: The RAF Logistic Support Service was integrated with other organisations in 1999-2000 to form the Defence Logistics Organisation. It ceased to be an agency on 31 March 2000 and since no accounts direction was given by HM Treasury, separate accounts were not produced for the agency to cover 1999-2000. As a result, to provide the information requested would incur disproportionate cost.
