§ 52. Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the number of corporations that have included in Bills promoted by them provisions relating to the acquisition of land for aerodromes; and whether he has had any notification of such land being acquired?
§ Mr. MONTAGUEIn reply to the first part of the question, the number, so far as I am aware, is five. As regards the second part, no official notification has reached the Air Ministry, but in one case I understand that the land has been acquired.
§ Mr. MONTAGUENo, the permission is embodied in certain local Acts and also in the Public Works Facilities Act, 1930.
§ Mr. MONTAGUECertainly not.
§ Mr. MANDERIs it not a fact that it is no longer necessary to obtain these special powers in each case?
