HC Deb 27 October 1988 vol 139 cc339-40W
Sir Trevor Skeet

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether it is proposed to dispose of the wind tunnels at Bedford and Farnborough or lease out the use of the facilities to private sector interests.

Mr. Sainsbury

There are no plans at present to dispose of the wind tunnels at Bedford or Farnborough. A study has been carried out into the feasibility of commercial management of the wind tunnels and the report is now being considered within the Ministry of Defence.
