To be honest, if DESO is actually worth it's salt to it's customers (Defence PLC), it'll thrive under UKTI (or at least it will be distinctively more impressive than much of the rest of the organisation).
If nothing else, there should be synergies of approach - so perhaps not a bad call. Personally, I'd love to close UKTI and DESO down, but that's (i) not a politically acceptable option becuase (ii) not all markets are as open and transparent as the UK/EU.
