§ 100. Brigadier Thorpasked the Secretary of State for Air why it is essential 159W for Service training to take over Druridge Bay for bombing practice; and whether every other potential site has been investigated.
§ Mr. A. HendersonI have already received representations on this matter from my hon. Friend the Member for Morpeth (Mr. R. J. Taylor) and have been giving the question my personal consideration. No decision has been reached to take over Druridge Bay for live bombing practice. In arriving at a decision every other potential site will, of course, be investigated.
