§ 28. Mr. EVERARDasked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in order to reduce the cost to the Exchequer of Members travelling by air or railway, he will grant free landing facilities for Members of Parliament who use their own machines at Hendon aerodrome in view of its proximity to the Houses of Parliament?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)I am afraid that for several reasons my hon. Friend's suggestion presents serious difficulties.
§ Mr. EVERARDIs it not because there is a large amount of flying? Is it not also a fact that to get to Heston you have to fly right over the House of Commons, and that more flying takes place at Heston than at Hendon?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThere are a good many Service squadrons.
