HC Deb 18 May 1992 vol 208 c40W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the latest position on proposals to establish an extremely low frequency listening post of Sron A'Choire Ghairbh beside Loch Lochy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Aitken

I assume that the hon. Gentleman is referring to the programme to construct an experimental extremely low frequency transmitter at the location he describes. I have nothing further to add to the answer given by the then Under-Secretary of State for Defence Procurement to my hon. Friend the Member for Dumfries (Sir H. Monro) on 14 February 1991, announcing our decision not to proceed with this project.
