HC Deb 03 April 1930 vol 237 c1463
101. Mr. LOUIS SMITH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the number of mooring masts for airships now in existence in this country and the intentions of his Department with regard to their increase?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Mr. Montague)

There is only one mooring mast in this country suitable for R100 and R101, but the question of erecting additional masts will be considered when further experience has been gained with the present airships.

Sir W. BRASS

Can the hon. Gentleman say what it costs to build a mooring mast?

Mr. MONTAGUE

Not without notice.
