The worst type of bureaucracy which is operating to-day is that in regard to aerodromes.
Aerodromes are not very easy to control from that point of view.
Were these two aerodromes not started to meet the submarine menace?
I am afraid it is quite out of the question for us to take up again the construction of this aerodrome.
Are they going on with my programme of buying aerodromes?
As far as can be ascertained, there have been no cases of capital debt incurred by aerodromes being written off in the last 20 years.
It is said that it will cost £12,000,000–£6,000,000 for the machine and £6,000,000 for the aerodrome.
We see now that we cannot properly charge ratepayers with the cost of aerodromes for national services.
