§ Mr. Tom ClarkeTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what future use he is considering for the former proof and experimental station at Inchterf, Auchenreoch; and if he will preclude its use as (i) a private shooting range or (ii) an explosives testing ground. [853]
§ Mr. SoamesThe former proof and experimental station at Inchterf has been marketed on the basis of a planning brief agreed with the local authority. This does not envisage the site being used as an explosive testing ground nor as a private shooting range. We are not aware that any of those who have expressed interest in the site intend to use it for those purposes.
