HC Deb 06 May 1983 vol 42 cc158-9W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what benefits or services have been provided to troops on Ascension Island by the south Atlantic fund, other than in respect of service during the period of hostilities with Argentina.

Mr. Wiggin

Contributions totalling about £11,400 have been made by the Royal Air Force central fund, from money donated to the South Atlantic fund, towards the provision of leisure facilities for service men on Ascension island, including the conversion of a building for use as an airmen's club, and sports and video equipment. Many of those who contributed so generously to the South Atlantic fund specifically requested that their money should be used for the welfare of those serving in the South Atlantic.
