HC Deb 03 February 1994 vol 236 c900W
Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future use of the Glen Douglas armaments depot.

Mr. Hanley

The NATO armaments depot—NAD—at Glen Douglas is currently used for ammunition storage by the Royal Navy, the US and the Netherlands. Following the United States' decision to withdraw its holdings, it was announced on 2 December 1993 that the task of storing and maintaining RAF ammunition would be transferred from RAF Chilmark to NAD Glen Douglas. Work has already commenced on the transfer which should be completed, on current plans, by the end of 1994.
