§ Mr. Wardasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many Service personnel and civilian employees at present located in East Anglia will form part of the reductions announced in the statement on the Defence Estimates 1975 (Command Paper No. 5976).
§ Mr. William RodgersIt is too early to say. The only defence establishment in East Anglia directly affected by the defence review at this stage is RAF West154W Raynham, which the Royal Air Force proposes to vacate by early 1976. As the White Paper makes clear, however, the other Services will be considering this and a number of other airfields with a view to possible use of existing accommodation and other facilities.
