Airfields, Norfolk (Alternative Road Routes)

HC Deb 10 April 1946 vol 421 cc310-1W

26. Mr. Gooch

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he will make an early decision with regard to the future of the R.A.F. stations at Horsham St. Faiths and Scottow, Norfolk, the use of which stations necessitates the continued closing of the Norwich-Cromer road, and the Norwich-North Walsham road.

Mr. Ivor Thomas:

I have been asked to reply. The airfields at Horsham St. Faiths and Coltishall near Scottow are still in use for flying and will probably be needed permanently by the Royal Air Force. The Air Ministry is, therefore, consulting the Ministry of Transport on the question of providing suitable alternative routes for traffic.
