HC Deb 04 May 1960 vol 622 c1075
38. Mr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Air when the Royal Air Force Station at Acklington, Northumberland, will be closed down; what future is planned for the station; and whether he will make a statement.

The Under-Secretary of State for Air (Mr. W. J. Taylor)

We have at present no plans to close Acklington. We are examining the possibility of using it for another task when the fighter squadron now stationed there is disbanded in the autumn.
