  • Thank You, Madam Deputy Speaker, for Granting This Important Adjournment Debate Today
    Check against delivery 9 July 2020 Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for granting this important adjournment debate today. RAF Croughton, based in my constituency of South Northamptonshire, was built in 1938 and is home to a United States Air Force communications station. For many decades, RAF Croughton’s strong links to our local community have been clear. They have regularly held community events and many children of base employees attend local schools. American citizens working at the base have become neighbours and friends of my constituents. In 2015, I was made aware of a US plan to consolidate some of their UK military and communications operations. RAF Croughton was earmarked for expansion, and the then Secretary of State for Defence wrote to me on 8th January 2015, saying (and I quote): “…approximately 1300 of the 1900 US Service personnel leaving RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth are expected to transfer to Croughton with all the benefits to the local economy at Croughton this should bring.” Check against delivery 9 July 2020 As the local MP, I was given a helpful tour of RAF Croughton and its plans to build new facilities including housing, a school and a new health centre for their staff. I was pleased to support their proposals, and their need for temporary direct access for HGVs from the A43 - a fast moving dual carriageway that runs through my constituency. But four years on, Madam Deputy Speaker, before any of those plans got underway, on August 27, 2019, my 19 year old constituent Harry Dunn tragically died, when a car driven by an American citizen from the base hit his motorbike head on because she was unintentionally driving on the wrong side of the road.
