HC Deb 23 March 1987 vol 113 c1W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence who invited the Royal Air Force to make a presentation at Boston, Lincolnshire, on Tuesday 17 February.

Mr. Freeman

The presentation was arranged following correspondence between the Royal Air Force presentation team and the mayor of Boston. It is normal practice for the presentation to be offered to a variety of local authorities, education institutions and other organisations some time in advance. A presentation is only given where a favourable response is received.

Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what subjects and issues were covered in the Royal Air Force presentation at Boston, Lincolnshire, on Tuesday 17 February.

Mr. Freeman

A standard presentation was given on the role and capability of the Royal Air Force against the background of United Kingdom defence policy and membership of NATO. As is usual, the presentation was followed by questions on a number of subjects.

Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence who undertook the Royal Air Force presentation at Boston, Lincolnshire, on Tuesday 17 February on behalf of the Royal Air Force.

Mr. Freeman

The Royal Air Force presentation team.
