HC Deb 22 March 1977 vol 928 c458W
25. Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for continuing the Royal Air Force presence at Biggin Hill after the Officers and Aircrew Selection Centre is transferred elsewhere.

Mr. Wellbeloved

As announced in the 1977 Statement on the Defence Estimates (Cmnd. 6735) a small enclave will be retained by the RAF at Biggin Hill. This will include the Battle of Britain Memorial Chapel and the officers' mess, in recognition of the special place that the station occupies in the history of the Royal Air Force. The possibility of housing a small RAF unit within the retained enclave is being considered.

Forward to
