§ Rear-Admiral Morgan-Gilesasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) when he intends to make his decision concerning the release of land at RAF Andover;
(2) what progress has been made in his consideration of the future usage intended for RAF Andover.
§ Mr. WellbelovedProposals for the future use by the Army of the land and buildings currently occupied by the Royal Air Force Support Command headquarters at Andover will be announced publicly on Tuesday 11th May. The hon. and gallant Member is being notified of these proposals by letter prior to their announcement. The future requirement for the airfield is still under consideration and I am afraid it will be some time before final decisions can he taken and announced.
