asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he will grant to the village of Ludford the services of water, sanitation, light and power, from the Ludford aerodrome to the houses which are in the immediate vicinity, especially as the water is already being provided to some of the parishioners, the sewer is in many cases almost on the doorsteps and the cables are under the village footpath; and will he allow R.A.F. labour to be used to provide these amenities for the village.

The future of Ludford Magna airfield has not yet been decided, but I should be glad to consider with the local authority the possibility of their acquiring these services should they become available.
