HC Deb 19 March 1985 vol 75 c434W
Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the feasibility study being conducted on prospects for extremely low frequency communications in Scotland.

Mr. Butler

Research on ELF is continuing with a view to validating the concept before determining whether it will have an operational role to play.

Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the sites being considered for the location of extremely low frequency antenna systems in Scotland.

Mr. Butler

I have nothing to add to the answer which my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for the Armed Forces gave to the hon. Member for the Western Isles (Mr. Stewart) on 5 December 1984 at column181. Consideration of possible sites remains at an early stage.
