RAF Lyneham: Weather

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence for how many days RAF Lyneham was closed as a result of recent adverse weather conditions.
Answer

Between 1 and 17 January, RAF Lyneham closed only once on 6 January between 2.40 am and 3.12 pm, a total of 11 and a half hours. This was to enable the runway to be cleared of snow and ice. This limited period of closure was due to the fact that Lyneham has a short runway and clearance could be completed quickly.
