§ Mr. LyonsIn view of the cessation of certain home air services will my hon. and gallant Friend say whether any steps are now in immediate contemplation for the promotion and encouragement of internal air lines in this country?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadThat seems to he another question.
§ Mr. MontagueWill the hon. and gallant Gentleman say how many of these aerodromes are properly equipped with up- 1765 to-date landing grounds and air control, and is he aware that a large number of aerodromes in this country have no really qualified air control at all?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadThat again, I think, is another question.
