HC Deb 03 December 1947 vol 445 c65W
21. Mr. Medlicott

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he is aware of the neglected condition of many airfields in Norfolk, particularly the airfield at Attlebridge; that heaps of weeds have been thrown on runways, and that from these heaps the seeds of thistles, docks and other weeds have been scattered and washed into adjoining ditches and on to adjacent land, causing general deterioration of the surroundings; and will he have the matter investigated and action taken.

Mr. de Freitas

The land at Attle-bridge and at 18 other airfields in Norfolk has been handed over to the county agricultural committee for them to farm as they think best. I understand that the committee are dealing with the weeds at Attlebridge.
