§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Defence when the flying training unit at Chivenor moved to Brawdy; and on what date the strength of civilians and Service men at Brawdy exceeded 250.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe tactical weapons unit redeployed from Chivenor to Brawdy on 2nd September 1974 and was fully operational by mid-September. Contrary to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Pembroke (Mr. Edwards) on 5th February, the total numbers of Royal Air Force and civilian personnel had already exceeded 250 during August. I regret this error and I am glad to take this opportunity of correcting it.
