1. Mr. DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any definite decision has now been arrived at with regard to the erection of an experimental station at Orfordness for the rotating loop direction-finding system; and, if so, w hat will be the cost?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)

It has not yet been possible to reach a definite decision. The estimated cost of the erection of the temporary experimental station at Orfordness is £5,000.

Mr. DAY

When is it hoped to carry out a decision which was announced some time ago?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

As soon as the Treasury and the Air Ministry agree.
