§ Mr. WilkinsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to increase the complement of aircraft and qualified flying instructors of university 587W air squadrons in Great Britain to provide training for students from Queen's university, Belfast holding university cadetships sponsored by the Royal Air Force following the closure of Queen's University Air Squadron, Belfast.

§ Mr. SoamesAt present, there are no plans to increase the complement of aircraft or qualified flying instructors at university air squadrons in Great Britain to provide flying training for students at Queen's University, Belfast holding university cadetships sponsored by the RAF. Should the decision be taken to close the Queen's University Air Squadron, the flying training of any students holding RAF sponsored cadetships would be undertaken from within existing resources.
