HC Deb 05 February 1975 vol 885 c524W
Mr. Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Defence why RAF Brawdy was not included in his recent list of major employing defence establishments in Wales.

Mr. William Rodgers

The criterion I used for defining a major defence establishment in my reply to the hon. Member for Caernarvon (Mr. Wigley) on 15th January—[Vol. 884, c.178.]—was one employing more than 250 civilians and Service men, RAF Brawdy does not meet this criterion.
