HC Deb 24 October 1961 vol 646 c83W
Mr. Mayhew

asked the Secretary of State for Air why he proposes to move No. 4 M.T. Squadron to North Weald rather than to Woolwich Arsenal.

Mr. J. Amery

Moreover, the roads around Woolwich Arsenal are less suitable for use by the more unwieldy of the Squadron's vehicles.
