Angus Brendan MacNeil – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Angus Brendan MacNeil on 2015-10-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how often his Department has made use of its agreement with Storas Uibhist to turn off the turbines when the range has been used for training purposes or has been otherwise active.

Mark Lancaster

It has not been necessary for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to exercise its rights under the agreement with Storas Uibhist to turn off the turbines. However, the MOD retains its rights, under the agreement, to do so in the interests of air safety should this be deemed necessary.
