HC Deb 20 March 1969 vol 780 cc136-7W
45. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate his Department has made of the effect on the Pembrokeshire economy that will be caused by the closures of the Royal Naval Air Service Station, Brawdy, and the School of Artillery, Manorbier, respectively.

Mr. George Thomas

I am aware that the potential effect could be serious but a great deal will depend on the nature of alternative uses which might be found for the establishments. This is being considered urgently.

Mr. Donnelly

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate his Department has made of the effect on local authority housing programmes of the proposed closure of the Royal Naval Air Service Station, Brawdy.

Mr. George Thomas

The future use of the Station has not yet been settled and it would be premature for me to make any comment on the housing situation in the area.
