Q1 Shailesh Vara Con North West Cambridgeshire
Context

The Red Arrows, a renowned aerobatic display team, are seeking a new home.

Question

What progress has been made on determining a new location for the Red Arrows? I am most grateful to the Minister for his comments. We in North West Cambridgeshire believe that RAF Wittering would be an ideal new home for the Red Arrows. Will he kindly agree to stay in close contact with me throughout this process and meet with me if it helps press our case further?

Answer from James Heappey (Minister of State for Defence)

Work on previously announced potential basing options is ongoing. All three potential basing options are still being considered. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with Shailesh Vara and other interested colleagues in the very near future.
