RAF Wethersfield (Hansard, 7 March 1990)

§ Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the future use of RAF Wethersfield by his Department.

§ Mr. Archie Hamilton
No decisions have yet been taken concerning the future of RAF Wethersfield after it is handed back to the Ministry of Defence in June 1991.

§ Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether any of the United States forces units or equipment currently based at RAF Wethersfield will be moved to other locations within the United Kingdom.

§ Mr. Archie Hamilton
I understand from the United States authorities that about a quarter of the 400 personnel of the 819 civil engineering squadron will remain in the United Kingdom, dispersed among the United States' main operating bases. The squadron's equipment will remain in the United Kingdom in storage.
