RAF Cosford (Museum)

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangements he is making to mark the formal opening of the new Cold War museum at RAF Cosford.

Answer: As the RAF Museum is a non-departmental public body, the day-to-day running is a matter for the Board of Trustees and the senior management team.It is my understanding that the RAF Museum is currently completing its national Cold War exhibition. The extension to the current Museum at Cosford is due to be completed towards the end of this year. Plans to mark the opening are currently being developed by the museum, and an announcement will be made in due course.
