§ 58. Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what estimate he has made of the price he is likely to obtain from the sale of Errol aerodrome.
§ Mr. WatkinsonIf the former owners of the land do not wish to acquire it, the aerodrome is likely to be sold by auction. It would not be in the public interest for me to disclose in advance the price we hope to get.
§ 59. Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the net cost to his Department of maintaining Errol aerodrome during each of the past five years.
§ Mr. WatkinsonMaintenance has been confined to essential repairs to those buildings which we have been able to let, with the result that current revenue has exceeded current expenditure. Starting with the year 1954–55, this excess has been about £2,900, £2,700, £1,700, £1,700 and £800 respectively. These figures exclude capital charges.
