§ Mr. Crowderasked the Minister of State for Defence to what extent there is to be any change in the purpose for which Northolt airport is to be used in the future; and if he will make a statement about the new type of jet aircraft which has been using this airport in recent weeks.
§ Lord LambtonThere is a long-term defence requirement for Royal Air Force, Northolt and no change in its present use is envisaged. No new type of jet aircraft has been using the airfield in recent weeks. It is possible that my hon. Friend has in mind the four Royal Air Force HS125s, which form part of No. 32 Squadron and which have been based at Northolt during the past year.
