§ 27. Viscount DUNCANNONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has arrived at a decision with regard to the request for compensation made by the proprietors of the Dover Aerodrome for the loss to them due to the Aerial Navigation Orders, 1913; and, if so, whether he will communicate it?
§ Colonel SEELYWhen a decision has been reached on the different points arising out of this matter, I will inform the Noble Viscount.
§ Viscount DUNCANNONIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that it is now a year since the matter was brought to the notice of the Government, and, in view of the fact that those concerned are incurring a financial loss, will he endeavour to accelerate the decision?
§ Colonel SEELYIt is a very big question. I do not know that acceleration would be in the interests of all parties concerned. I will certainly not lose sight of it.
