§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he has received notification of United States intentions in respect of the future of RAF Greenham Common; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe United States Department of Defence announced on 30 January 1992 the decision to withdraw from RAF Greenham Common in autumn 1992, returning the station to full Ministry of Defence control. We are now considering options for the future use of the base, including scope for other defence uses. Our studies are at an early stage, however, and no decisions have yet been taken.
