§ Mr. D. HERBERTasked the Secretary of State for Air whether it has been decided to build a Royal Air Force cadet college at Cranwell and to entrust the work to the Office of Works; and whether there is any reason why the scheme should not be thrown open to public competition, so as to obtain the best possible professional services and greater economy of expenditure through the employment of an independent practising architect?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLYes, Sir. The matter has been very carefully considered, and it has been decided that the most satisfactory and economical results in this case are likely to be obtained by entrusting the work to the Office of Works.
