§ 25. Sir W. Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Air how often Leuchars Aerodrome has been made available for civil aircraft during the last 12 months; and whether he will state the conditions under which civil aircraft are allowed to use this aerodrome.
§ Mr. BirchThe airfield is normally available to civil aircraft in emergency for diversions. No such diversions have been required in the last twelve months, but two civil charter flights were specially authorised to use the airfield. It is now temporarily out of flying use.
§ Sir W. Anstruther-GrayCan I take it from that reply that my right hon. Friend is prepared to consider sympathetically any requests which he may receive either from B.E.A. or from civil companies?
