HC Deb 31 October 1990 vol 178 c622W
Mr. Alan W. Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether agreement has been reached over funding by the United States of America of the possible over-the-horizon radar installation being considered for Brawdy in Dyfed.

Mr. Alan Clark

Yes. The memorandum of understanding signed by the United Kingdom and United States Governments on 20 April 1990 makes general provision for the equitable contribution, subject to the availability of appropriated funds, of both Governments to the costs of a two-year trial of an over-the-horizon radar in the United Kingdom; and specifically for the United States Government to provide, among other things, a production OTHR system for the trial.
