§ 35. Mr. HARDIEasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what area of land has been purchased for the Bulverhythe Aerodrome; the price per acre; and the name of the party or parties the land was bought from?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)The land referred to does not belong to the Air Ministry. It was purchased by the Hastings Corporation for a municipal aerodrome, and I am not, therefore, in a position to supply details of the transaction.
§ Mr. HARDIEIn view of the Bill now before the House which seeks to control air navigation; does the right hon. Gentleman wish the House to understand that while we are taking all this trouble, the Government have no control and cannot get the information desired
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe Town Clerk of Hastings will give the hon. Member any information he desires.
§ Mr. HARDIEBut my point is that the Air Navigation Bill seeks to coordinate all aerodromes and air services, 391 and I wish to know why we cannot get information directly?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member has had an answer to the question on the Paper.
