Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the Busy Brewer exercises that have taken place at military bases in the United Kingdom since 1979.
Mr. Ian Stewart
I understand that exercises in the Busy Brewer series have been taking place only since 1982. Records of these exercises are readily available only from 1984, and these indicate that the following exercises have taken place since then:
| Date | Base |
| 1984 | |
| 25 April to 17 May | RAF Upper Heyford |
| 13 September to 12 October | RAF Fairford |
| 1985 | |
| 2 May to 20 June | RAF Fairford |
| 6 September to 11 October | RAF Fairford |
| 1986 | |
| 29 August to 6 October | RAF Fairford |
| 1987 | |
| 1 May to 8 June | RAF Fairford |
| 27 August to 12 October | RAF Fairford |
| 1988 | |
| 9 April to 6 May | RAF Fairford |
| 3 June to 13 June | RAF Fairford |
