§ Mr. HarveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether it is the Government's intention to continue the operation of air-sea rescue services at RAF Chivenor in north Devon; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonA review of the provision of sea-air rescue by the armed forces is approaching its final stages. Final decisions on the structure and basing of the military SAR force have yet to be taken. I cannot, therefore, comment on the future of any individual military SAR flight.
