HC Deb 06 April 1976 vol 909 c133W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made with the RAF radar installation in North Uist.

Mr. John

A full survey has now been completed and we have decided to proceed with proposals to instal a new radar station at South Clettraval as a replacement for the existing radar at Benbecula. The new radar will contribute to our general programme of improvements to the air defence of the United Kingdom and we are now embarking on the process of planning consultation and land acquisition.
