HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 c235
34. Mr. DOYLE

asked the Secretary of State for Air if the anti-aircraft station at Great North Road, Finchley (corner of Summer's Lane, opposite Granville Road), is still in existence; and, if so, what useful purpose it serves, how many men are employed therein, and what are their duties, if any?

Mr. CHURCHILL

A certain amount of anti-aircraft equipment is stored at this anti-aircraft station, and men are employed to safeguard it and keep it in a serviceable condition. There are also the remnants of a London anti-aircraft defence centre, and the personnel are awaiting absorption into the future Air Defence Organisation as soon as the details are settled. The number of officers is 7 and other ranks 26. Proposals are at present under discussion for the removal of the detachment and stores.
