§ 53. Lord APSLEYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can give a list of new sites for aerodromes purchased this year by His Majesty's Government, giving the price per acre paid in each case, and a similar list of sites proposed to be purchased next year?
§ Sir P. SASSOONIt would not be in the public interest to disclose the prices paid per acre, but, if my Noble Friend desires, I will send him a list of the sites that have been acquired. I am not in a position to furnish a complete list of the purchases which will be necessary next year.
§ Mr. MORGAN JONESAre the prices of these sites fixed in consultation with the Treasury land valuation officer?
§ Sir P. SASSOONYes, Sir. We consult them before we open negotiations.
