HC Deb 23 February 1955 vol 537 c165W
Mr. Lucas

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what airfields within a radius of 30 miles of Central London are still controlled either wholly, or in part, by his Department; which of these are to be retained for permanent use; and when he anticipates the remainder will be made available for disposal.

Mr. Ward

The following is a list of these airfields:

Biggin Hill. West Mailing.
Hornchurch. White Waltham.
Hendon. Matching.
Kenley. Chipping Ongar.
North Weald. Fairoaks.

On present plans the first seven are to be retained. The future of the last three is under review.
