HC Deb 16 February 1927 vol 202 cc927-8
48. Sir FREDRIC WISE

asked the Secretary of State for Air the price paid for Hendon Aerodrome and the land, and what is the cost per acre?

Sir P. SASSOON

The precise cost cannot yet be given since it will depend upon the prices realised for the surplus property included in the purchase, but not required by the Air Ministry. It is estimated, however, that I he final cost of the 300 acres, together with buildings valued at £100,000, will work out at approximately £300,000.

Sir F. WISE

Has any of the outlying part of the land been sold?

Sir P. SASSOON

The negotiations are still going on.
