HC Deb 18 May 1990 vol 172 c576W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the purpose of the installation recently constructed on the site of the wartime Templeton airfield, Pembrokeshire; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The newly constructed building at Templeton airfield is intended to house an automatic telephone exchange which will form part of a country-wide system to provide modern communications for the Royal Air Force. Equipment installation will be undertaken by GEC Plessey Telecommunications Ltd. later this year. When operational, the facility will be unmanned except during periodic maintenance visits.
