§ 21. Dr. Littleasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will take steps to 756 ensure that for the present no one shall be employed at, or have access to, an air base, either in use or under construction, within the bounds of Northern Ireland, except a person who is a native of and resides in, the United Kingdom.
§ Captain BalfourNo, Sir, and I am advised that the security safeguards for men so employed are already adequate.
§ Dr. LittleIs my right hon. and gallant Friend aware that there is grave dissatisfaction, particularly among the Americans, about the employment of outside people upon these air bases and aerodromes, especially those convenient to the Border? It has been expressed in the public Press.
§ Captain BalfourNo, Sir, I am not aware of any great dissatisfaction, and I cannot think that any dissatisfaction which was expressed would really be of much substance, unless the person expressing dissatisfaction had full knowledge of the security measures that we take.
