HC Deb 02 August 1939 vol 350 c2408W
Mr. Watson

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in the making of runways for Royal Air Force machines in Scotland, any change has recently been made in their construction; and whether stone-bottoming is used in every case?

Sir K. Wood

Concrete runways are being constructed at one aerodrome in Scotland. They will have a sub-base of hardcore or clinker, or both, where the sub-soil makes this necessary. The hardcore includes stone.
