    Leuchars and Lossiemouth Airbase Campaigns – Motion by Provost J Hulbert and Deputy Provost W Wilson

    This Council recognises the strength and justice of the campaigns by the communities of Fife and Moray, to support the retention of the Royal Air Force bases at Leuchars and Lossiemouth.

    Council further recognises that an equitable distribution of defence expenditure across the United Kingdom would ensure the retention of both bases.
