HC Deb 30 March 1936 vol 310 cc1608-9
18. Mr. HOLDSWORTH

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a fatal accident happened on Sunday last, 22nd March, 1936, caused by a pilot hitting Post Office wires along Harrogate Road at the Yeadon Airport, Yorkshire, when corning in to land; and whether, in view of this attendant danger and the fact that the Auxiliary Force, No. 609 squadron, expect to start flying from this ground on 1st May, he will have this danger removed at once by putting the wires underground at this point?

Major TRYON

I am having inquiries made into the circumstances. I will examine the question of removing the overhead wires concerned, and communicate to the hon. Member the result of my inquiries.
