HC Deb 03 June 1986 vol 98 cc429-30W
Mr. Meadowcroft

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the number of cruise missiles at United States Air Force, Greenham common, that are assigned to maintenance programmes; and whether these are included in the complement of 96 cruise missiles deployed at Greenham common as stated in the 1986 Defence Estimates, paragraph 320.

Mr. Stanley

It would not be in the public interest to publish detailed information on the number of cruise missiles undergoing maintenance at RAF Greenham common. However, I understand that the figure of 96 missiles quoted in the "Statement on the Defence Estimates 1986" includes those undergoing maintenance.
