47. Marquess of CLYDESDALEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the Air Ministry is prepared to grant any assistance to the town council of the Royal Burgh of Renfrew for the extension of the Renfrew aerodrome, in view of the greatly increased volume of 2167 aviation traffic in that district and the probability of its further increase on the occasion of the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow in 1938?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)I regret that it would not be in accordance with present policy to grant financial assistance to a local authority for the purpose of extending its aerodrome.
