Senator Chris Evans: The Minister for Defence has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question: (1) Investment funds can be allocated to both cost reduction and non-cost reduction streams, and to Groups and Services for a variety of reform activities. Therefore a 'net savings' view is not reflective of the purpose of SRP investment funds as they can not be solely attributable to cost reduction streams.
