§ 35. Mr. Thornton-Kemsleyasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will arrange for the grass taken from aerodromes to be dried or stored in order to decrease the tonnage of imported feeding-stuffs required for our livestock population?
§ Sir K. WoodArrangements already exist under which my Department enters into contracts with firms interested in grass preservation. The firms maintain the aerodrome surface and cut and fertilise as necessary. During this year, contracts have been let in respect of 13 Royal Air Force aerodromes and further contracts will be arranged where opportunity offers and operational requirements permit.
