asked the Minister for Defence if the report of the military analyst, referred to in reply to Parliamentary Question 23 of 15 May 1980, is yet available, if so, if he will give a detailed account of its findings; if not, when it will be available; and the progress made towards the setting up of a military museum.
Written Answers. - Military Analyst's Report.
338.
The report of the military analyst on the items suitable for inclusion in a military museum is now available and contains approximately 150 items, their present location and an estimate of the floor space required for their display. The list of items includes:—
Field, Anti-Aircraft and Coastal Defence Artillery and equipment, Armoured Fighting Vehicles and Cavalry equipment,
Vehicles and Transport equipment, Naval equipment,
Aircraft and Air Corps equipment, Weapons,
Cups and Trophies of Equitation School,
Miscellaneous equipment.
The report is being considered by the committee set up in my Department to examine the question of the establishment of a museum of a military nature. I do not, however, anticipate early developments in setting up such a museum.
