§ 15. Mr. EVERARDasked the Undersecretary of State for Air which public civil aerodromes, north of London, are at present equipped with permanent flood lights for night landings; and whether any others are about to be erected?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)No civil aerodrome, north of London, licensed for public use at present has permanent flood lights; and so far as I am aware no arrangements have been made for providing such equipment at these aerodromes.
§ Mr. EVERARDDoes not the Undersecretary agree that we are behind in this matter? Cannot his Department bring pressure to bear on municipalities to light their aerodromes at night?
§ Sir P. SASSOONWe think it advisable, and one or two authorities are contemplating doing so.
