HC Deb 20 December 1933 vol 284 cc1322-3W
Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is aware that the Court of Verderers of the New Forest does not permit aeroplanes to land or take off within the boundaries of the New Forest; if there is any other rural area in England of so large an extent barred to aeroplanes; and if he is prepared to make representations on this subject to the Court of Verderers?

Sir P. SASSOON

Whilst my Department has no information as to the actual restrictions which my hon. and gallant Friend mentions, I can appreciate that there might well be objections to the regular landing and taking off of aircraft in the New Forest. I do not know of any other area of the same size where similar restrictions are in force.
