Proceeding contribution from Bob Ainsworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence Acquisition (Independent Review).


Defence Acquisition (Independent Review)

That is Bernard Gray's proposal, and we are not taking it up, but we will explore whether we can put the appropriate distance between the different parts of the organisation, DE&S, the main building and the services themselves, by perhaps establishing a trading fund. That might be the way in which we can achieve the appropriate distance without losing effective control. That idea is being looked at as part of the process, and we will come back to the House.
