§ Mr. GrayTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what infrastructure improvements are(a) in hand and (b) pending at RAF Lyneham. [45459]
§ Dr. Moonie[holding answer 25 March 2002]: All of the planned infrastructure improvements at RAF Lyneham have been completed for this Financial Year, and only emergency maintenance is currently being undertaken. The number of emergency improvements changes on a daily basis but on 20 March 2002, we estimate that there were some 60 such works being undertaken at the Station. The number of infrastructure improvements runs into many thousands over the year sine they are often very small-scale tasks. If there are specific improvements in which the hon. Member is interested, I will provide details of those.
