HC Deb 24 November 1927 vol 210 c2062
69. Major BRAITHWAITE

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he is in a position to give any information on the proposed air station at Skipsea, East Yorks?

Sir P. SASSOON

Proposals for the establishment of an air gunnery and bombing range on the coast near Skipsea are under consideration and have been the subject of correspondence with the shipping and other interests which may be affected, and it would be too early as yet to make any definite statement in regard to the result of the negotiations which are in progress. I may add that there is no question of establishing a large permanent station in this vicinity.

Major BRAITHWAITE

Will the hon. Member say what number of men are likely to be permanently stationed at this Air station?

Sir P. SASSOON

I should like to have notice of this question.
