§ Mr. HarveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the future of the search-and-rescue services at RAF Chivenor; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HanleyThe Wessex search-and-rescue—SAR—flight at RAF Chivenor is planned to be replaced by the Sea King SAR flight from RAF Brawdy in April 1994. This decision will be looked at again in light of the decision which I announced on 11 November, to move a battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers into temporary accommodation at RAF Brawdy from August 1994, and once the outcome of the review into the rationalisation of RAF flying training stations is known.
