§ Mr. Lathamasked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to receive the report of the inquiry into the future of RAF North Luffenham; and what representations he has received.
§ Mr. FreemanThe study into the future of RAF North Luffenham is continuing, and it is still too early to anticipate when the report will be completed. Since my noble Friend, the then Minister of State for Defence Support, met my hon. Friend and representatives of the Rutland district council on 30 April, I have received a submission from the council concerning the perceived effects of closure of the station on the local community. A reply will be sent very shortly.
