HC Deb 25 June 1935 vol 303 c955W
Viscount CASTLEREAGH

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the Air Ministry are considering the advantages of Northern Ireland in selecting the locations of the additional reserve training schools?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Very careful consideration has been given to the possibility of siting a reserve training school in Northern Ireland. I regret, however, that, in view of the facts that the proportion of candidates for the reserve forthcoming from Ulster has been very small, and that it is essential to site training schools in areas convenient of access for pupils, the location of a training centre in Northern Ireland is unlikely to be practicable.
