Mr. Henry Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, what plans are being considered for the construction of an airfield on the Seychelles.

Her Majesty's Government have agreed to meet the cost of building a civil airfield in Seychelles to provide a link with the Indian and African mainlands. A survey will be made as soon as possible as a necessary preliminary to going to tender.
