HC Deb 12 May 1938 vol 335 c1741W
Mr. Simmonds

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, in order to strengthen the Air Ministry Committee of Supply, he will co-opt on to this committee a member of the Cadman Committee?

Earl Winterton

No, Sir. I do not consider that any useful purpose would be served by adopting my hon. Friend's suggestion.

Mr. Simmonds

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether the Director of Production, Air Ministry, is a member of the Committee of Supply?

Earl Winterton

No, Sir, the Director of Aeronautical Production is an officer of the Department of the Air Member for Supply and Organisation who is himself a member of the Sub-Committee on Supply and who arranges for the attendance of the Director of Aeronautical Production at its meetings as and when required.
