asked the Secretary of State for Defence what Burtonwood base, near Warrington, is used for; and what is transported to and from Burtonwood through the port of Liverpool.

RAF Burtonwood is a storage facility made available to the United States army. There is in addition a small training facility used by the British army on the site. Stores being taken from or to RAF Burtonwood may pass through a number of points of entry. It is not our practice to discuss details.
