HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 c378W
100. Mr. McKie

asked the Secretary of State for Air the reason for the long delay in coming to a decision regarding the request by the Drummore Community Council to purchase an R.A.F. billet.

Mr. de Freitas

I am afraid this delay was due to mistakes in my Department which are now being fully investigated as a safeguard for the future. Meanwhile, tenders are being issued to the council and others who may be interested in the use of these huts.
