Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to transfer the management of RAF Odiham from the Army to the Royal Air Force.

There is a joint Army and Royal Air Force (RAF) proposal to adopt an Air Base/Air Wing operating model at Benson and Odiham airbases. This would see the RAF take responsibility for running the Airbases, with helicopters from the Army’s Joint Aviation Command (JAC) continuing to operate from both sites. This will have no effect on operational outputs.
