§ Flight-Lieutenant Beswickasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation why the flying control at Whitchurch airport has so far been denied elementary radio-telephony facilities; and whether he will see that this is rectified forthwith.

§ Mr. StracheyI have been asked to reply. For security reasons radio-telephony facilities were not provided at Whitchurch during the war. Subject to more urgent needs at other airports it is intended to provide those facilities as soon as circumstances permit.
