55. Mr. Creech Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he proposes to proceed with the construction of an aerodrome at Stourhead in Wiltshire or whether alternative available sites have been found?

The Under-Secretary of State for Air (Captain Harold Balfour)

I am unable to add to the reply given by my right hon. Friend to the hon. and gallant Member for Salford, South (Major Stourton) on 21st June.

Mr. Creech Jones

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman kindly say whether developments are suspended pending a search for and examination of alternative sites?

Captain Balfour

As my right hon. Friend informed the House, he is now considering all aspects of the matter, and he hopes to be able to answer questions that may be raised on this matter on Wednesday.
