HC Deb 17 July 1957 vol 573 cc1130-1
34. Mr. E. L. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will make a statement about the future of the Royal Air Force station at Kirton in Lindsey.

Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

The future use of this station is still being examined.

Mr. Mallalieu

Will the Under-Secretary assure us that the amenities of this station and the quite exceptional buildings will be taken into account in this consideration?

Mr. Orr-Ewing

The hon. and learned Gentleman is quite right in saying that this station is of outstanding merit, and we certainly wish to retain it if it will fit into the new deployment plans.
