HC Deb 23 April 1952 vol 499 c371
3. Mr. Anthony Hurd

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how many residents in the neighbourhood of Greenham Common airfield have been given notice to quit their properties; when these notices become effective; and if their claims for compensation have now been settled so that they may have reasonable time to find homes for themselves elsewhere.

The Under-Secretary of State for Air (Mr. George Ward)

No notices to quit have been served, though negotiations have been taking place for the acquisition of five properties in the neighbourhood of Greenham Common. In one case agreement has been reached on the amount of compensation and a date for transfer of the property. Possession of the remaining properties will be agreed when the compensation to be paid has been settled.
