Forth Area (Defence Facilities)

HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 cc529-30W

Ms Rachel Squire

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the future of the defence facilities in the Forth area.

Mr. Aitken

Defence facilities in all parts of the country have been examined in the defence costs study. We plan to make an announcement on the outcome in July. However, I envisage a continuing role for defence facilities in the Forth area.
