§ 39. Major DAVID DAVIESasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether he can state the total amount of money which has been spent upon an aircraft acceptance park in Lancashire; whether this park is still being used; and, if not, whether he can state the reasons for which it has been closed?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY Of STATE to the AIR MINISTRY (Major Baird)The total amount spent on this acceptance park, the name of which the hon. Member has been good enough to communicate to me privately, is about £15,000. It was formerly used both for the erection and storage of aeroplanes. It has not been closed, but is at present only used for storage. It is, however, intended to use it again at an early date for the erection of machines.
