Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has been informed of the building of another radome at NSA/NRO Menwith Hill; and what recent discussions he has had with his US counterpart and others on this matter.
The US authorities did formally notify the Ministry of Defence of the proposal to construct a further radome at RAF Menwith Hill. This matter is being handled by officials from the Defence Infrastructure Organisation who recently submitted a planning application to the Local Authority for the new radome on behalf of the US.
