HC Deb 06 May 1947 vol 437 c46W
Mr. Mitchison

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that some, but not all, of the electric-supply poles for the now disused Husbands Bosworth aerodrome have been removed; that the remaining ones and their stays are a hindrance to agriculture, and that, during the past year or more, repeated representations for their removal have been made by local farmers through the Northamptonshire A.E.C.: and when he will cause the remaining poles to be removed.

Mr. de Freitas

The delay in removing all the electricity supply poles at Husbands Bosworth has been due first to bad weather and later to difficulty in getting suitable labour. The rest of the work will be begun very shortly and will take about a month to complete.
