“I have received a follow-up letter from Kevan Jones MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence, to my questions in the Defence Debate on 9th October about the future of RAF Lyneham,” said James Gray MP.

“It seems that no further decisions have been taken on whether the base will be used as part of the Battlefield Helicopter Estate, but I will keep a close eye on developments.”

“I was also pleased to receive the Minister’s thanks to pass on to my constituents in Wootton Bassett for the way in which they pay their respects to our war dead.”
