HC Deb 16 June 1937 vol 325 cc358-9
38. Mr. Lyons

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can now indicate the extent and location of recent developments in wireless, meteorological and control facilities, consequent upon the findings of the Maybury Committee?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

I regret that I cannot at present add to the information which I gave to my hon. and learned Friend on 2nd June last.

Mr. Lyons

Is the Minister aware that many proposals for the establishment of new civil aerodromes are being hung up pending a statement on this matter, and can he give the House an assurance that a statement will shortly be made as to what has taken place since the Committee reported?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

All the recommendations of the Maybury Committee are being considered with due expedition, and no time is unnecessarily being lost.

Mr. Lyons

Will the hon. and gallant Member tell us precisely in which airport anything has been done since the publication of the report?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

I have said that all the recommendations of the May-bury Committee are being comprehensively considered.

Mr. Lyons

Can the hon. and gallant Member say when they will become effective?
