§ Mr. PERKINSasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will reconsider his decision to close Marden aerodrome and keep it as an emergency landing ground for pilots flying on the Continental air route?
§ Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTERThe Air Ministry tenancy of this landing ground has been terminated by notice given by the lessor. In point of fact, air traffic has of late tended not to follow the route over Marden, and provision of a new emergency landing ground in replacement is not considered necessary.
