HC Deb 09 April 1936 vol 310 c2929
8. Mr. LEWIS

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many German subjects are employed at the Croydon aerodrome?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)

My right hon. Friend has made inquiry and is informed that a German company, which operates an air service between Germany and Croydon, has in its service at Croydon six German subjects.

Mr. LEWIS

Does not the hon. Gentleman consider it might be desirable to prohibit the employment of the subjects of any foreign State in British aerodromes, having regard to the importance of those aerodromes in case of hostilities?

Mr. LLOYD

I understand that British subjects are probably employed at foreign aerodromes where British air transport companies are operating.
