HC Deb 02 June 1992 vol 208 c535W
Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give a breakdown of the £2 million saving per year he estimates will be made to the defence budget when flying training ends at RAF Brawdy.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

I will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department is continuing to look for alternative uses for RAF Brawdy within his Department when flying training ends there.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Investigations have so far revealed no alternative defence uses for RAF Brawdy.

Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what grade of official has represented his Department at meetings of the task force on the effects of the closures of RAF Brawdy and RNAD Trecwn;

(2) what is the grade of the civil servant representing the MOD on the Secretary of State for Wales's Task Force for Pembrokeshire set up in connection with the ending of flight training at RAF Brawdy.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

MOD representation has been at grade 7 (principal) level, with the exception of one meeting at which, because of other commitments, representation was by an executive officer.
