HC Deb 07 February 1934 vol 285 cc1120-1
22. Mr. EVERARD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the municipalities which have aerodromes under construction at this date?

Sir P. SASSOON

I understand that work on the construction of municipal aerodromes has already begun, or is likely to begin shortly, in the following cases: Birmingham, Brighton-Hove-Worthing (a joint aerodrome at Shoreham), Carlisle, Doncaster, Hastings, Leicester, Rochester, Southport and Walsall.

Mr. EVERARD

May I ask which work is actually in progress at these aerodromes?

Sir P. SASSOON

In most cases work is actually in progress.

Mr. LOUIS SMITH

Will the Under-Secretary make inquiries as to whether an aerodrome has been commenced at Sheffield?

Sir P. SASSOON

I have not the information about Sheffield, but I do not think any work has yet been started there.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Are there no municipalities in Scotland which have started a municipal aerodrome?

Sir P. SASSOON

I will send the hon. Member the information.
