HC Deb 30 January 1952 vol 495 c179
29. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many United States airfields there are in Malta; when they were put there; what are the terms of the agreement under which they were put there; who are the parties of that agreement; and to what extent the Government or the people of Malta were consulted before it was entered into.

Mr. Lyttelton

There are no United States airfields in Malta; the remainder of the hon. and learned Member's Question does not therefore arise.

Mr. Speaker

Mr. Harold Davies.

Mr. Hector Hughes

On a point of order. May I put a supplementary question about my Question, Mr. Speaker?

Mr. Speaker

The hon. and learned Gentleman was too slow. I gave him an opportunity.
