§ Mr. MacdonaldTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what financial provision he has made for the years 1990–91, 1991–92, 1992–93, 1993–94 and 1994–95, respectively for the use of the planned British Aerospace air combat manoeuvring installation in the North sea;
(2) what understandings he has entered into with British Aerospace as regards future use of their air combat manoeuvring installation in the North sea.
§ Mr. NeubertBritish Aerospace's proposal to construct an instrumental air combat facility in the North sea remains under consideration by the Government. MOD has no current plans to utilise such a facility, if constructed, and has therefore made no financial provision for its use.
