§ 18. Mr. Shepherdasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what plans have now been formulated for the erection of the memorial to Alcock and Brown at Heath Row.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe memorial to Sir John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten-Brown which Mr. William McMillan, R.A., has nearly completed will be erected temporarily on a site in the Bath Road Terminal of the Airport, where it will be easily seen by passengers arriving in the United Kingdom. Later, when the new Terminal Area in the centre of the Airport is brought fully into use, the statue will be permanently erected there in a suitable position.
§ Mr. SnowIn view of the fact that American history books are doctored to avoid the mention of this achievement by Alcock and Brown, would the right hon. Gentleman take steps, with his appropriate colleague Minister, to see that when this memorial is erected suitable leaflets and illustrations are distributed in the United States?
