HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 c625W
Mr. Stokes

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that a further year's work is required to complete Culdrose Aerodrome, Cornwall, for the training of pilots; that there are at least six other aerodromes already completed in Cornwall; and whether, in view of the fact that this completion involves the employment of approximately 1,000 building operatives urgently required for the building of houses, he will stop work on the aerodrome until the houses have been built.

Mr. Alexander

In common with all Admiralty works projects, the construction of the Royal Naval Air Station, Culdrose, is already under review with the object of releasing as much building labour as possible for civil housing. I hope that I shall be in a position to let the hon. Member have a definite reply in the near future.
