HC Deb 13 February 2004 vol 418 c42W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether(a) RAF Brampton and (b) RAF Wyton have been designated as core sites within the Defence Estates Core Sites Report of March 2003. [155555]

Mr. Caplin

I can confirm that RAF Brampton and RAF Wyton were designated as Core Sites, although following the recent announcement by the Chief of Defence Logistics about a proposed framework of changes to the current structure of the Defence Logistics Organisation, further work is in hand to assess the feasibility of collocating additional parts of the DLO alongside or close to the existing Ministry of Defence site at Abbeywood in Bristol. This will be followed by more detailed work which will also consider whether there are alternative Defence uses for RAF Brampton and RAF Wyton.

Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many civil servants have been employed at(a) RAF Wyton and (b) the MOD premises at Abbeywood in each of the last five years. [155551]

Mr. Caplin
