• Oral Answers to Questions — Royal Navy.: Pembroke Dock (Air Station). 8 May 1929

  It has now been definitely decided that the Air Ministry shall take over Pembroke Dockyard as an Air Station. The development of this as of any other air base must of course be a gradual process, but I understand that the Air Ministry are proceeding with the preliminary arrangements.

• Oral Answers to Questions — Royal Navy.: Pembroke Dock (Air Station). 8 May 1929

  No, Sir. That is a matter for the Air Ministry, and not for my Department. As I have said, and as my hon. and gallant Friend the Parliamentary Secretary said before, it will take some little time to develop the air base. They are beginning now, and any other questions regarding the rapidity of the progress of the work must be addressed to the Secretary of State for Air and not to me.

• Oral Answers to Questions — Royal Navy.: Rosyth Dockyard (Naval Ratings). 8 May 1929

  The statement in the first part of the question is without foundation, and the second part does not therefore arise.
