Surprise, Surprise! - by Chris

As predicted the Daily Telegraph today reports 'Defence' industry anger at plans to close DESO. The report also discloses that CAAT and FoR (ahem!) have met with Treasury ministers and officals about the issue. I'm sure this is the beginning of a summer-long propaganda campaign over the future of the department. Our friend Paul Ingram has a fine piece (and photo!) on the Guardian 'Comment is Free' site on all this.
