§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence which consultants and agencies within his Department carried out the environmental assessments of the former air bases at(a) RAF Alconbury and (b) RAF Greenham Common prior to their proposed disposal; and when the land quality statements were produced for each site. [36134]
§ Mr. SoamesAn environmental assessment at RAF Alconbury was carried out by ERM EnviroClear Ltd. and a land quality statement was produced in June 1996. RAF Greenham Common was passed for disposal before the introduction of the new procedures and therefore no land quality statement has been produced. Investigations have been carried out, however, by different contractors into a number of environmental and safety issues.
