HC Deb 17 February 1919 vol 112 c595W
Captain FALCON

asker the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether he is aware that the emergency aeroplane landing ground at Freethorpe, in the county of Norfolk, has not been used for any aeronautical or military purposes more than once in the last eighteen months; that the land is excellent corn-growing land, and if permission is granted could still be cultivated and a crop grown for the coming harvest; and whether he will at once take steps to have this land handed back to the farmer for the purpose of being put under cultivation?

Major-General SEELY

This land was required in connection with the scheme of defence against enemy air raids, and steps have been taken with a view to its immediate restoration for agricultural use.
