§ 29. Mr. P. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will make a statement on the progress being made in providing an airfield on the island of Gan.
Mr. WardWork on the Royal Air Force staging post is going ahead satisfactorily. Some of the domestic buildings cannot be started until arrangements have been made to move the islanders now living on the site, but this will not delay flying from the airfield.
§ Mr. WilliamsIn view of the importance of this airfield in Commonwealth relations, can my right hon. Friend give any estimate of when the work will be completed?
