To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether a sale site of RAF Lyneham would be subject to the Crichel Down rules.

RAF Lyneham was acquired under 61 conveyances, between the years 1940 and 1987, and the whole site will be subject to the Crichel Down Rules. If the site is declared surplus, Defence Estates will consider the Crichel Down position to determine whether, in certain circumstances, any land is to be offered back to former owners or their successors in title. This procedure will have to be finalised prior to any marketing of the site.
