§ 82. Viscount DUNCANNONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether a decision has been arrived at with regard to the request for compensation made by the proprietors of the Dover Aerodrome 2114 for the loss to them due to the Aerial Navigation Order, 1913; whether he is aware that it is now more than a year since the matter was first brought to the notice of the Government; and whether he will use his influence to prevent further delay in arriving at a decision?
Mr. LAMBERTI am very much in sympathy with the wish to have this matter settled without further delay, but the Noble Lord will recognise that more than one Department is concerned, and that a proposal to compensate private persons for the passing of an Act of Parliament demands very careful consideration. I will certainly do what I can to expedite the matter.
