HC Deb 06 May 1986 vol 97 c100W
Mr. Wiggin

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has any plans to base additional units at the Royal Marines base, Condor, Arbroath, or at Royal Air Force Locking; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

We have recently agreed in principle to make part of the Royal Marines base Condor at Arbroath and RAF Locking available to the United States' Navy for use as a peacetime storage facility and as a hospital which would be activated in the event of war.
