RAF Northolt
(asked on 16th July 2014) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on what grounds he has concluded that the use of RAF Northolt for commercial flights does not constitute state aid; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 1st September 2014
The fees charged at RAF Northolt are in excess of the amount required by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to cover its costs in the provision of commercial services and are calculated to be at market rate. The MOD is therefore obtaining market value for the commercial services that it provides and so it does not constitute state aid.
