§ Sir John HuntTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent reductions have taken place in the establishment at RAF Biggin Hill; and what effect such reduction in posts there will have on the anticipated savings from the pending closure of RAF Biggin Hill.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonFollowing a review of RAF catering manpower scales, on which establishments are based, a small number of posts has recently been disestablished at RAF Biggin Hill. The disestablishment of these posts ahead of relocation of the RAF officer and aircrew selection centre does not significantly affect the anticipated savings attributable to the closure of RAF Biggin Hill.
