RAF

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the number of (a) families and (b) organisations with an interest in RAF Innsworth under the Crichel Down Rules relating to compulsory purchase; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

The RAF Innsworth site has not been declared surplus to MOD requirements. For that reason, it would be premature and entail possibly unnecessary costs to embark on any detailed Crichel Down investigations at this stage. Consequently we have as yet made no assessment of how many interested parties there might be.
