HC Deb 28 January 1953 vol 510 cc983-4
9. Group Captain Wilcock

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether Her Majesty's Government will now de-requisition those municipal airfields that have been used by the volunteer reserve schools which are now to be closed down.

Mr. Ward

I hope that it will soon be possible to release Wolverhampton, which is the only municipal airfield in this category held on requisition by the Air Ministry.

Group Captain Wilcock

Is the Minister aware that the de-requisitioning of these aerodromes is a matter that is having repercussions on various municipalities and will affect rates? Will he therefore reconsider the matter?
