Part of Defence – in the House of Commons at on 1 February 2021.
Ben Wallace
The Secretary of State for Defence
At the urging of my hon. Friend—the RAF have been in the process of drawing the base down, as he said—we did look at exploring other military uses for that base, but at the moment no long-term military requirement has been identified. Defence is, I am afraid, therefore completing the final assessment, with disposal details to be announced in due course.
