HC Deb 09 February 1965 vol 706 cc66-7W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will consult the Minister of Housing and Local Government and local authorities before a final decision is made on the future use of North Weald aerodrome.

Mr. Millan

The airfield at North Weald is required for defence purposes by the Army. The question of consulting the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and the local authorities does not therefore arise.
