HC Deb 27 February 1984 vol 55 cc86-7W
Mr. Boyes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many United States service men at Greenham common have been returned to the United States of America because of drug taking; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

[pursuant to his reply, 23 February 1984, c. 615]: Six members of the United States Air Force who were based at RAF Greenham common and who were reported for drug taking earlier this month have been returned to the United States and discharged. Another man will be returned to the United States very shortly for discharge.

I understand that a further seven members of the United States Air Force at RAF Greenham common were returned to the United States in 1983 for drug taking. All those involved this year and last year were in non-sensitive clerical posts.
