Lieut.-Colonel Sir JOHN HOPEasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether the steel airship shed constructed at East Fortune for R 34, at a cost of £250,000, is to be moved to Howden, or how this shed and five smaller airship sheds at East Fortune are to be disposed of?
§ Major-General SEELYIt is not the intention to move to Howden Airship Station the rigid airship shed at East Fortune in which the R.34 is at present housed, and to which I assume my hon. and gallant Friend refers. The cost of this shed was £160,000. This shed and the other two (not five) small airship sheds on the -station, if not required for the purposes of civil aviation, are to be handed over to the Disposal Board.
