§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects the height-monitoring radar system Skyguard to begin operating over the transit area that operates over south Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire; and whether he will report on the results of the monitoring.
§ Mr. NeubertIt is not the intention to publish proposed deployment locations for the Skyguard radar system in the low flying monitoring role in advance, but my Department will be seeking to ensure a wide spread of locations around the United Kingdom. Appropriate follow-up action will be taken after each deployment.
