§ 69. Mr. D. Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what reply he has given to the representations that have been made to him about bringing the Bridgetown, Barbados, aerodrome up to international standards.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI have not received any recent representations about this airport. It is already used by Stratocruiser aircraft, among others, and the runway is now being strengthened to carry these aircraft at their maximum permissible weight. It is also proposed to extend the runway from 6,000 feet to 7,000 feet.
