§ 9. Mr. HUGH MORRISONasked the Secretary for War whether he is aware that, in spite of the representations of the Salisbury Rural District Council to the road transport officer of the Southern Command, the Royal Air Force are using a three-ton motor lorry for the purpose of conveying about four persons each day from Winterslow to Lopcombe Corner Aerodrome, and that in consequence considerable damage is being done to the 1801 reads in the district by this unnecessary heavy military traffic; and will he take steps to stop this waste of money?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe lorry in question belongs to the contractors working at Lopcombe Corner Aerodrome, and is used for the conveyance of stores and workmen to and from the station. There are generally about sixteen men, while the stores consist mainly of drain pipes, for which a conveyance of this kind is necessary.
