61. Mr. Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has received representations regarding the establishment of a municipal aerodrome at Glasgow; and does he intend to take any action?
Captain BalfourYes, Sir, As my right hon. Friend stated on 18th May, the arrangement for the time being is that Renfrew is the recognised civil aerodrome 873 for south-west Scotland, and the Royal Air Force aerodrome at Abbotsinch is available as a standby when conditions render it undesirable for aircraft to use Renfrew. Negotiations are now proceeding which will, I hope, result in a more satisfactory permanent arrangement.
Mr. DavidsonWill the Minister keep in mind the fact that while other representations may be made from other sources, Glasgow just now provides greater facilities for the training which is required in connection with municipal aerodromes and also for hospital treatment for people who may have to come from other parts of Scotland?
