HC Deb 15 December 1988 vol 143 cc685-6W
Mr. Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has any plans to review the future of the airfields operated by the Procurement Executive of his Department.

Mr. Sainsbury

We have decided to conduct a study into the future requirements for the airfields which support the research and development programme undertaken by the Procurement Executive. The airfields concerned are at royal aerospace establishment Bedford, aeroplane and armaments experimental establishment Boscombe Down and royal aerospace establishment Farnborough. The study will start early in the new year and all interested parties will have the opportunity to submit their views.
