§ Sir P. SASSOONI understand that the approximate acreages of the landing areas are: Croydon 250, Berlin 257, Amsterdam 163, Brussels 168, and Paris 282. It is, however, only at Croydon that the landing area largely consists of land under grass.
§ Mr. SANDYSIn regard to the area of Croydon aerodrome, can the Under-Secretary say whether the figure he has given includes the whole aerodrome, or 2446 only the flat portion on which planes land?
§ Sir P. SASSOONIt includes the land area.
