HC Deb 01 June 1949 vol 465 cc2088-9
10. Mr. George Thomas

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation when he proposes to derequisition the Cardiff airport.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Mr. Lindgren)

There is no intention of derequisitioning Pengam Moors Aerodrome.

Mr. Thomas

Can my hon. Friend say why there is no promise at all to derequisition this airport? Can he give some reason for that?

Mr. Lindgren

If Cardiff wants it derequisitioned and does not want an aerodrome and will let us know, we shall be prepared to consider it. Our information is that Cardiff not only desires an aerodrome, but air services as well.
