§ Mr. LYONSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will enumerate the additional aerodromes that are expected to be opened in this country for civil purposes during the current year; and whether in each case arrangements are embodied for their adaptation for the purposes of defence in emergency?
§ Sir P. SASSOONIt is hoped that the following nine municipal aerodromes will be opened this year: Bury St. Edmunds, Cheltenham and Gloucester, Coventry, Oxford, Perth, Weston-super-Mare, Wolverhampton, Worcester, York. All of these would be suitable and easily adaptable for defence purposes in an emergency. Special arrangements at the present stage for their adaptation are not necessary.
