Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what representations he has received from the United States authorities concerning the possibility of basing United States air force F-15E aircraft in Britain; and what is the Government's policy on such a deployment.

Mr. Ian Stewart

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 3 December 1987 at column 709.

Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has as to what contracts have been awarded to British Aerospace to service United States air force F-15 aircraft; and what arrangements have been made in support of such contracts.
