HC Deb 13 November 1973 vol 864 c87W
49. Mr. Jeffrey Archer

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether his Department has any further use for RAF Manby, and whether the Property Services Agency of the Department of the Environment has been informed.

Mr. Kershaw

The Royal Navy, the Army and the Procurement Executive are being asked whether they will have a use for RAF Manby when the station closes in March 1974. This procedure should be completed by January 1974, and if it becomes clear that RAF Manby is no longer required by the Ministry of Defence the Property Services Agency will be informed immediately. However, some at least of the married quarters are likely to be retained for use by RAF personnel from neighbouring stations.
