§ Mr. Horabinasked the Secretary of State for Air why a street lighting system has recently been installed on an aerodrome, the name of which has been given to him privately; and how many lamp standards, yards of cable and man-hours of labour, were used in its construction?
§ Sir A. SinclairIt is not correct to say that a street lighting system has recently been installed on the aerodrome to which my hon. Friend refers. A contract for such a system had been placed before the war but under wartime policy it was not installed. As, however, a station fire alarm and loudspeaker system was required twelve of the standards and 4,000 yards of cable ordered under the contract for the lighting system were used for this purpose at a cost of approximately £1,100. I regret that I have no information immediately available as to the man-hours involved in this work.
