§ Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give details of the incident outside RAF Greenham common on 10 November when two vehicles in a cruise missile convoy were involved in accidents while returning to the base.
§ Mr. StanleyThere were two separate incidents on the day in question. Neither involved cruise missile launch or control vehicles. In one case, a number of United States military vehicles entering RAF Greenham common by a gate to the north of the airfield had paint thrown at them by protestors outside the gate. In an unrelated incident at the main gate at about the same time, a non-military vehicle struck the gate while entering the base. No serious damage resulted from either incident.
