DEFENCE DIVERSIFICATION AGENCY (9 December 1999)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the Government's support for defence diversification; notes the Government's plan to set up a defence diversification agency which would facilitate the conversion of defence technology to civilian purposes; and urges the Government to consider locating this agency within the Department of Trade and Industry where the agency could best work co-operatively with the regional development agencies to promote defence conversion and technology transfer from laboratory to civil industry.
