HC Deb 24 March 1919 vol 114 c29
63. Sir S. ROBERTS

asked the Under secretary of State to the Air Ministry what was the total expenditure incurred at Loch Doon; whether the saleable plant and other assets have been removed; and what was the amount of the proceeds of sale arising therefrom?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Major-General Seely)

The total expenditure to 19th February, 1919, was £484,433. In this figure I do not include the cost of land and compensation to tenants is not included. The saleable plant and other assets have already been largely removed, being either transferred for Government purposes elsewhere, or sold to other purchasers. The value of materials disposed of in these ways will amount, when removal is completed, to an estimated total of, approximately, £210,000.

Mr. J. JONES

What was the amount of sacrifice that the landlords have made?

Major-General SEELY

I have not got the figures for the land.
