HC Deb 20 March 1946 vol 420 c1844
8. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether he can now report to the House the outcome of the Dublin Air Conference; and whether he has arranged for the siting of the trans-Atlantic Safety Organisation at Prestwick, or whether it is to be at Rineanna.

Mr. Ivor Thomas

The Dublin Conference is still in session, and I am not in a position to say what its final recommendations will be. The matter referred to in the second part of the Question is one of those under discussion at the Conference.

Colonel Hutchison

Is the Minister aware that international air delegates at Dublin are reported to have been officially pre vented from going to Prestwick and, if so, will he take steps to counteract that?

Mr. Thomas

I will look into the matter, but I am rather sceptical about it.
