HC Deb 22 May 1950 vol 475 c219W
113. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty when he hopes to derequisition the airfield at St. David's.

Mr. W. J. Edwards

It has recently been decided that this airfield is no longer required by the Navy. No decision has yet been reached as to the future of this airfield, but as it is equipped with hard runways it would, normally, be purchased. If it is found that the airfield is not required for any other Government purpose, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries so that as much as possible of the land may be used for agricultural purposes.
