HC Deb 25 May 1982 vol 24 cc302-3W
21. Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a further statement on the future of his Department's establishment at Shoeburyness.

Mr. Wiggin

As my predecessor told my hon. Friend on 17 March 1981, there is a long-term requirement for the proof and experimental establishment at Shoeburyness to continue with its present defence functions.
