§ 81. Mr. Goughasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what are his plans for the future of Croydon Aerodrome.
§ Mr. NeaveIt is my right hon. Friend's policy to begin the closing down of Croydon Aerodrome as soon as Gatwick is open for traffic in the spring of 1958. At all times we shall act in consultation with the local authorities. My right hon. Friend is still consulting the Secretary of State for Air about suitable aerodromes for the light aircraft now based at Croydon.
