To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the accident on 31 October involving a Harrier jet at RAF Wittering, indicating the level of hazard at the accident site, with special reference to the proximity of nuclear material. [15636]

The aircraft crashed half a mile southwest of RAF Wittering and the usual post crash management procedures, to eliminate or contain any hazard to the public or the environment, were carried out. There were no nuclear materials involved in the accident.
