HC Deb 13 May 1932 vol 265 c2322W
Mr. L. SMITH

asked the Undersecretary of State for Air whether, in view of the fact that business men are now using the aeroplane for carrying out their work, he will do his best to stimulate all towns of any importance to provide the necessary aerodromes?

Sir P. SASSOON

The Air Ministry, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, has been urging municipalities for some time past to reserve sites for aerodromes in their town-planning schemes, and I trust that, as a result, local authorities as a whole are fully alive to the importance of providing aerodromes. The Air Ministry is, further, always ready to afford expert advice and assistance in this matter.
