HC Deb 25 March 1976 vol 908 c263W
Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what are his plans for the future use of the airfield at RAF Andover.

Mr. John

The airfield at RAF Andover will be closed by the end of this month and, if the proposal to form a unified headquarters at RAF Brampton for the amalgamated Royal Air Force Training and Support Commands is confirmed, the whole of the Andover site will be vacated by the Royal Air Force in the middle of 1977. Alternative uses for the entire site are under active consideration by the Army but no decisions have yet been reached.
