HL Deb 06 February 1990 vol 515 c829WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are their plans for the future of Greenham Common.

The Earl of Arran

The remaining ground launched cruise missiles are due to be withdrawn from RAF Greenham Common by May 1991. After that date the station will remain available to the United States Air Force and revert to its former role as a stand-by operating base. In addition the station will continue to provide support to RAF Welford and under the terms of the INF Treaty it will remain subject to short notice inspection by the Soviet Union until the year 2001. It will also remain the designated point of entry to the UK for Soviet inspection teams wishing to visit either Greenham Common or Molesworth.
