Proceeding contribution from David Kidney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 February 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on RAF Stafford.


RAF Stafford

It is a pleasure to start this debate and to see my right hon. Friend the Minister of State, Ministry of Defence in his place to answer it. He and I have discussed RAF Stafford quite a lot in recent years, so I doubt whether anything that I say today will come as a surprise to him. Let me start with the background. At RAF Stafford, uniformed personnel and civilians provide—very effectively—a range of support services, all of which are time critical and some of which are dangerous. I am thinking of the tactical supply wing, which supplies fuel to front-line helicopters in times of conflict.
