HC Deb 12 May 1954 vol 527 c1223
25. Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made in removing the use less and derelict huts on Heathfield Airfield at Ayr.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Mr. John Profumo)

Since my Department took over responsibility for Heathfield aerodrome in February, a survey has been made of the existing buildings and arrangements have been made for the demolition of those which are derelict and can serve no useful purpose. Tenders have been invited for a contract to demolish these buildings, and to remove the materials, at an early date.

Sir T. Moore

As these huts have been an eyesore at this place for the last seven years, will my hon. Friend and his right hon. Friend go into their usual hustle in order to get rid of it?

Mr. Profumo

Yes, Sir; certainly. I hope these eyesores will be removed by mid-July.
