The Under-Secretary of State for Air (Mr. Geoffrey de Frietas)My right hon. Friend cannot yet add to the reply he gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Lewes (Major Beamish) on 22nd June.
§ Mr. KeelingCan the Under-Secretary of State say what is the reason for the delay?
§ Mr. de FreitasThe reasons for such delay as exists are twofold. First, we have to find another range in that area and, secondly, we have to consult the experts, the greatest of whom, Mr. Peter Scott, is at present in the Arctic.
