HC Deb 15 June 1938 vol 337 c208
33. Mr. Henderson Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Air how many civil aerodromes have been established in London with the aid of Exchequer contributions?

Captain Balfour

Two airports, namely Croydon and Heston, have been provided at the cost of Air Votes. The latter of these was first established by a private company and was afterwards purchased by the Air Ministry.

Mr. Henderson Stewart

Can my hon. and gallant Friend say how many similar airports have been established in Scotland?

Captain Balfour

Not without notice.
