BRAMSDONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if the erection of a new aircraft station on the south coast is contemplated; and if, in view of the recent institution of the naval arm, he will investigate the advantages of building such a station or factory in the vicinity of Portsmouth, where land and dockyard assistance are available?
§ Mr. LEACHIn answer to the first part of the question, no addition to the number of Air Force stations on the south coast is contemplated in the immediate future.
