HC Deb 15 April 1975 vol 890 c55W
Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the condition imposed on the recent sale to the London borough of Bromley of the airfield at Biggin Hill, that it must remain available for civil and military flying, will continue to apply after the intended closure of RAF Station, Biggin Hill.

Mr. John

The final decision as to whether or not there is a further Service requirement for the land currently occupied by the RAF at Biggin Hill will in no way affect the existing right by military and civil aircraft to use the airfield there.

Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what are his plans for the maintenance of St. George's Battle of Britain Memorial Chapel at Biggin Hill after the proposed closure of RAF Station, Biggin Hill.

Mr. John

The maintenance of St. George's Battle of Britain Memorial Chapel after 1978–79, when it is planned to redeploy the Officers and Aircrew Selection Centre from RAF Biggin Hill, is currently under examination.
