§ Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Transport if he is now in a position to make a statement in regard to the restoration of road traffic between Denchworth 136W and Grove across the Grove Airfield; and why the terms of his letter of 15th July last to the Berkshire County Council have not been implemented.
§ Mr. BarnesA scheme has been devised in consultation with the County Surveyor to restore road communications between Denchworth and Grove by making use of airfield runways and perimeter tracks. It has not been practicable to proceed with this scheme because there was some prospect that the airfield would again be required for flying. I understand that this is now not so, and I will see what can be done, having regard to present economic conditions, to make a start with the road works. Pedestrians and most vehicles now enjoy permissive use of a route across the airfield.
