§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Defence if, further to his answer to the hon. Member for Leyton of 22 December 1983, Official Report, c. 431–2, he will list any other hospitals regarded as contingency wartime hospitals, indicating their current use, the current number of patients and staff in them, which county is responsible for them and what cost they are to the Exchequer.
§ Mr. StanleyThe only former service hospital that has currently been made available to the United States air force as a contingency wartime hospital on the same basis as RAF Little Rissington is RAF Nocton Hall. There are no patients in this USAF hospital in peacetime and no costs for its maintenance fall to the Exchequer. There is no county responsibility for RAF Nocton Hall.
