§ 39. Sir A. BEITasked the Undersecretary of State for Air whether he is in a position to make a statement as to the present intention with regard to the removal of the airport from Croydon and its establishment in the West of London outside the fog area; and what estimate has been formed of the probable cost?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThere is no such intention. The aerodrome at Croydon was retained and developed as the Government-owned Airport of London after an exhaustive examination of alternative sites, and no new circumstances have arisen which would necessitate a change.
§ Sir A. BEITWould it be possible for my right hon. Friend to see that a denial is given in the paper which published the report?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThey will see my answer.
