HL Deb 22 December 1982 vol 437 c1169WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether in view of the recommendation from local authorities concerned with Kemble Airfield that the 536 acres should be used for agricultural and industrial purposes and having regard to the fact that the present workforce is now being declared redundant, they will release the land immediately so that arrangements may be made without delay for future productive employment in the area.

The Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Viscount Trenchard)

I have nothing further to add to what I said to the noble Lord, Lord Mayhew, on 6th December (Hansard, col. 107).
