HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 cc2161-2W
Mr. Collins

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if, in view of the fact that thousands of trained aircrew are being re-mustered to ground trades and that large numbers of trained ground staff at Cranborne, Southern Rhodesia, are employed in giving aircrew instruction to pupils who have already had flying experience, he will arrange for the dismantling of this station or its discontinuance as an aircrew training station.

Mr. Strachey

This station is still required for flying training. I am, however, making inquiries into the particular points which the hon. Member has raised and will communicate with him.
