RAF Innsworth

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to make a decision on the future of the Royal Air Force site at Innsworth, Gloucestershire, with particular reference to the possibility of basing the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC), 1 Signals Brigade and 102 Logistics Brigade there; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

I cannot add anything further to the information I gave to the hon. Member in my letter of 13 March, a copy of which is available in the Library of the House.The Innsworth site is one of several options being assessed as a potential UK base for HQ ARRC, but this work represents no more than a developing plan at this stage. Final decisions will not be made before the summer, and moves will not take place until 2009 at the earliest.
