15. Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether tenders were invited for the erection of the new air shed at Cardington; and how many tenders were submitted to the Air Ministry for this work?

The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Samuel Hoare)

Yes, Sir, six firms were invited to tender and four tenders were received in the Air Ministry.

Colonel DAY

Were any advertisements for tenders issued in this case?

Sir S. HOARE

I cannot give an answer to that question without notice, but the usual procedure would be adopted.
