§ 18. Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware of the delays to travellers by air to and from London caused by the lack of central aerodrome facilities; whether any proposals for overcoming such delays are brought to his notice; and whether he will consider taking steps to assist the establishment of an air port in central London?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI am aware that travellers by air incur some degree of delay owing to the fact that there is no air port in central London. Various suggestions for the provision of such an air port have been put forward, but the financial, technical and other difficulties involved have so far proved insurmountable. My Noble Friend will, however, continue to give careful consideration to this problem.
