Mrs. Gilroy: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will set out, with statistical information relating as directly as
possible to (a) Plymouth, Sutton constituency, (b) Plymouth, Devonport constituency and (c) South-West Devon constituency, the
effects on the Plymouth unitary authority area of his Department's policies and actions since 2 May 1997. [158028]
Dr. Moonie: [holding answer 23 April 2001]: The Ministry of Defence has a wide-ranging presence throughout the UK in terms of
defence establishments and the service and civilian personnel they employ. This presence brings benefits to many communities, local
economies and jobs. Also, 60,000 new defence contracts are placed each year that provide support to industry and create and sustain
defence-related employment.
The Ministry of Defence has maintained a very large number of personnel in the area reflecting the strategic importance of Plymouth
to the services--especially the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. MOD direct employees as of 1 October 1999 (service and civilian) were
around: (a) Plymouth, Sutton--1,150 personnel; (b) Plymouth, Devonport--2,850 personnel; and (c) South-West Devon--850 personnel.
Since 2 May 1997, around 6,240 contracts with a total value of some £859 million were placed with prime contractors in the Plymouth
area{1}.
I draw attention to the Defence Analytical Services Agency report "UK Defence Statistics 2000" that contains a wealth of defence
statistical information, a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House.
{1} The decision as to where work under a particular contract will be undertaken rests with the contractor, therefore work on a
contract placed with a prime contract in the Plymouth area may well be done elsewhere: similarly, contracts placed with contractors
outside the Plymouth area could lead to sub-contracts on companies in Plymouth.

Mrs. Gilroy: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the outcome of the Army training estate site
utility review. [160354]
Dr. Moonie: As I said in my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Wigan (Mr. Turner) on 23 May 2000, Official Report, column 459W,
the Ministry of Defence has been conducting a site utility review (SUR) of the Army training estate to identify training areas,
camps and ranges which are no longer required in order that they can be closed or sold, thereby saving maintenance costs and where
possible generally revenue. The SUR has now been completed, and 21 sites have been identified for disposal. They are as follows:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Site for disposal Location
Nesscliffe--Brooklea West Midlands
Nesscliffe--Tanglewood West Midlands
Caerwent--surrounds Wales
Kinmel Park (part of) Wales
Hamsterley Forest North East
Langdale Forest North East
Ripon South Parks North East
Stang Forest North East
Fridaywood Farm Buildings East
Stonebridge Camp East
Flat 1 & 2, Grooms Cottage, Hawley Home Counties
Rand Plantation, Ash Home Counties
Land at Foxhills, Ash Home Counties

Marne Training Area North East
Rowlston Range North East
Halton Training Camp{1} North West
Pilning Range South West
Wyke Regis Tented Camp Area{2} South West
Quorn Terrace/Entrance Longmoor Camp Home counties
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
{1} Part of {2} Tented camp area only
The Ministry of Defence expects to receive between £10 million and £18 million for the sale of the sites listed. A proportion of
this, some £6.8 million, will be used to replace training facilities currently at Rowlston range, Halton training camp and Longmoor
camp.

Mrs. Gilroy: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made with work to identify a voluntary screening
programme for service personnel and civilians who have served in the Balkans and who are concerned about exposure to depleted
uranium. [150464]
Mr. Spellar: The first phase of work to identify a screening programme, which we intend should be equally applicable to Gulf
veterans as to those who have served in the Balkans, has been completed. We are publishing today a consultative document setting out
the technical issues associated with such a programme, inviting advice and comment in particular from a wide range of expert bodies.
A copy of the consultative document is being placed in the Library of the House, and it will also be available on the MOD internet
website.
The next step in our work is to develop firm proposals for screening, taking into account the advice and comments we receive in
response to the consultative document. Those proposals in turn will be the subject of wide consultation.
