§ 37. Lord John Hopeasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that at Turnhouse aerodrome in the latter part of May, 1946, large quantities of waterproof equipment, including groundsheets and Wellington boots, were deliberately destroyed, and that this practice has been indulged in at other aerodromes also; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter.
§ Mr. de FreitasI have not been able to obtain any evidence to support the statements made by the noble Lord. If he will send me details I will gladly look into the matter further.
§ Lord John HopeIn view of that most disappointing answer, I take it the answer to the second part of my Question is in the negative?
§ Mr. de FreitasNo, not quite, because I said I would look into any matter if the noble Lord sends me details.
