RAF Welford

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the cost to the public purse is of the security enhancement to the US base at RAF Welford; and from which budget the expenditure was drawn.

RAF Welford is made available to the United States Visiting Force (USVF) under the NATO Status of Forces Agreement of 1951. The cost of the physical security enhancements made at the base was therefore met by the United States Air Force at no cost to the public purse.
