HL Deb 11 May 1998 vol 589 c104WA
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 of RAF Feltwell are exclusively for NATO purposes. [HL1722]

The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Gilbert)

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 particular NATO programme, although Her Majesty's Government and other NATO governments have access to data collected by the station.
