The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency Trading Fund Order 1995
Made 2nd March 1995
Coming into force 1st April 1995
Whereas:
the Defence Research Agency Trading Fund Order 19931(“the 1993 Order”) established a trading fund to be known as the Defence Research Agency Trading Fund under the Government Trading Funds Act 19732(“the 1973 Act”);
