HC Deb 04 June 1984 vol 61 cc75-6W
Mr. Haynes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if the central ordnance depot at Chilwell in Nottinghamshire is to be used by the United States of America to store and service vehicles for their rapid deployment force; and how many vehicles will be based there.

Mr. Lee

The vehicles to be stored at Chilwell are for use in support of the United States Air Force's commitment to NATO. It is not our practice to provide information on the equipment levels held at such locations.

Mr. Haynes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence to what extent the central ordnance depot at Chilwell in Nottinghamshire is to be used for housing development to house United States forces' personnel; how many houses are to be built; and what are the numbers of United States personnel involved.

Mr. Lee

There are no plans to provide housing at Chilwell for United States forces' personnel.
