Barron Report

Volume 496: debated on Monday 20 July 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a copy of the Barron Report on defence land needs. (245123)

A copy of the ‘Barron Report’, which was prepared some years ago, is being obtained and will be placed in the Library of the House.

Substantive answer from Kevan Jones to Liam Fox:

In my answer to your Parliamentary Question of 12 January (Official Report, column 86W), asking for a copy of the Barron Report on defence lands needs to be placed in the Library of the House, I advised that a copy was being obtained and would be placed in the library of the house as soon as practicable.

I regret that, given the amount of time that has elapsed since the production of the Report (some 20 years); and despite strenuous efforts by officials, it has not proved possible to locate a copy.

I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
