HC Deb 13 November 1961 vol 649 c22W
Mr. Forrest

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty when he proposes to complete the derequisitioning of Toome Airfield.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

This former airfield was owned, not requisitioned, by the Admiralty. Its disposal is nearly complete.

A small built-up portion has been transferred to the Northern Ireland Ministry of Commerce at their request. Contracts for the resale to thirty-five former owners of the whole of the remainder have now been exchanged. It is expected that the necessary legal conveyances will be completed within approximately three months.
