Mr. Creech JonesThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I am advised that the navigational equipments at present provided on the aerodrome are adequate to meet existing requirements. I am however in communication with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Air and my noble Friend the Minister of Civil Aviation, with a view to determining what further steps will be required in the island in the future to meet the situation resulting from the contraction of the R.A.F.
