asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he has any plans to dispose of RAF Northolt; and if he will make a statement.

RAF Northolt remains an operational RAF station and there are no plans to dispose of the site. The potential for improving the facilities for civil air users is being considered and this may involve the development of a civil enclave within the station.

asked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what representations he has received from the Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise concerning additional civilian flights at RAF Northolt; and if he will make a statement;(2) if it remains his policy to retain the existing maximum limit of 28 flights a day at RAF Northolt; if he will consider the noise implications of any increase in the existing average number of movements; and if he will make a statement.

No such representations have been received. There are no plans to increase the existing ceiling of 28 civilian flights per day at RAF Northolt, a limit set in order to minimise disturbance to local residents.
