§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Minister of State for Defence what estimate he has of additional oil consumption involved in troop and ancillary transport, if gunnery ranges move from Lulworth to Castlemartin.
§ Mr. BlakerThe present co-location of the Royal Armoured Corps establishments at Bovington and Lulworth enables training to be carried out economically. If the gunnery element were removed to Castlemartin oil consumption could be expected to increase. Detailed estimates of the additional consumption are not available.
