Mr. PRIVETTasked the Secretary of State for Air, whether he is aware that the site of the Farlington racecourse at Portsmouth, at. present. being used for shell breaking, will shortly be vacant; and whether he will consider its advantages, both as regards situation and space available for utilisation, as an air station and take steps to acquire it for that purpose?
§ Sir S. HOAREI am aware that the Farlington racecourse will become available for disposal during the current year and its possible use as an aerodrome will hr considered, but, as at present advised, I doubt if it will prove to be suitable.
