HL Deb 20 March 1997 vol 579 cc92-3WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the airspace checking facilities at RAF Feltwell are under full British control, and whether the United States uses are exclusively for NATO purposes.

Earl Howe

The Deep Space Tracking Facility at RAF Feltwell is under the command of the United States Air Force Space Command. It is not part of a NATO programme, although Her Majesty's Government and other NATO Governments have access to data collected by the station.
