Lieut.-Colonel Clifton-Brownasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what is the proposed plan for the half finished aerodrome at Lakenheath, Suffolk; and when it is proposed to reopen the road from Lakenheath via Wangford to Brandon, which was closed when the construction of the runways for this aerodrome was commenced.
§ Mr. StracheyThe airfield, now practically completed, at Lakenheath has been specially extended for the largest types of aircraft. Parts of the Lakenheath-Wangford-Brandon road have been obliterated to make way for runways, but my Noble Friend will consider, with the Minister of War Transport, the practicability of providing a replacement to run round the north of the airfield in addition to the diversion of the Milden-hall-Brandon road already constructed to the east of the airfield.
