§ 10. Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Secretary of State for Air what representations were made to him during his recent visit to the City of Dundee concerning an airport suitable for civil air services from the city; and what answer he gave.
§ Mr. SoamesMy right hon. Friend was asked when civil aircraft would be serving the district. He answered that he understood neither B.E.A. nor any of the independent companies had made proposals to run such a service.
§ Mr. ThomsonIs the hon. Gentleman aware that negotiations are at present going on for a civil air service from Dundee? In the event of such a service being established, can he give an assurance that every possible assistance will be given by his Department towards the establishment of a civil airport for it?
§ Mr. SoamesWe see no great difficulties in providing such airfield facilities as would be necessary, but so far as we are aware no request has been made either by B.E.A. or by any of the independent operators as yet.
