HC Deb 21 May 1952 vol 501 c468
42. Mr. Hurd

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if all the claims for compensation arising from the acquisition of properties adjoining Greenham Common airfield have now been settled.

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

Settlements have been reached over two of the five properties concerned. Offers have been made by the Air Ministry in two other cases and these are being considered by the owners. In the remaining case agreement on the terms of his outgoing has been reached with the tenant, but negotiations are still taking place with the freeholder and the lessee.

Mr. Hurd

Will my hon. Friend personally watch this matter, because these unfortunate people have been living in a state of uncertainty for over a year now?

Mr. Ward

Yes, Sir.
