HL Deb 01 December 1971 vol 326 c466

THE EARL OF CROMARTIE asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will confirm the assurance which they have recently given that Barry Buddon will remain a military training area.

LORD CARRINGTON

Subject to the finding of the Defence Lands Committee, under the chairmanship of my noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford, I can confirm that a military requirement exists for the Barry Buddon training area. It provides the only ranges of their kind in Scotland, and we plan to use them for many years to come.

House adjourned at eighteen minutes before one o'clock, a.m.
