§ 64. Mr. HUGH MORRISONasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether he can hold out any hope that the aerodrome which spoils the beauty of Stonehenge will be pulled down?
§ Major TRYONThe retention of the aerodrome at Stonehenge has been the subject of very careful consideration, as the Air Council are in full sympathy with the desire that existing disfigurements in the neighbourhood of Stonehenge should be removed at the earliest moment possible. This station is, however, of great importance to the Royal Air Force owing to its proximity to Larkhill and other artillery camps, and until an alternative arrangement can be found the aerodrome will have to remain. Every endeavour will be made to provide suitable accommodation elsewhere, and when this has been done the buildings will be removed.
Mr. J. JONESCan the hon. and gallant Gentleman see his way to remove the disfigurement in the neighbourhood of Silvertown?
