HL Deb 06 December 1982 vol 437 c107WA
Lord Mayhew

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have for the future of the RAF base at Kemble; what visits have been made by US Government representatives; and what inquiries have been received from civilian employees.

Viscount Trenchard

It is planned that the RAF maintenance unit at Kemble will close on 31st March 1983. However, the United States Air Force have expressed a possible interest in the facilities there and their representatives have paid a number of visits in the past few months. The workforce and their trade union representatives have been kept abreast of developments.
