Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what (a) steps he plans to take and (b) funding he plans to allocate to support the growth of RAF Wyton.

As part of the ‘Better Defence Estate Strategy’, the UK Strategic Command Station at RAF Wyton will gain an enhanced integrated operations hub, designed to directly support UK Armed Forces on operations globally. This initiative will also enable the release of our site at Feltham in Middlesex, resulting in regeneration and supporting the Government’s commitment to building 1.5 million homes. No recent assessments of the potential merits of the disposal of land at RAF Wyton have been undertaken.
