Sep 8 2010

Council representatives are due to meet with the Scottish Secretary to discuss the future of two RAF bases.

The delegation from Moray travelled to London to speak to Michael Moore ahead of the conclusion of the UK Government's strategic defence and security review.

A recent study found RAF Lossiemouth and RAF Kinloss account for 16% of full-time employment in Moray, with staff and their families making up around 7% of the total population.
