HC Deb 31 March 1919 vol 114 c881
89. Sir A. FELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry if the Government is taking any part in the preparations for the suggested flight of aeroplanes across the Atlantic; and, if so, what limit is put on the expenses to be incurred on this account?

Mr. PRATT

The various problems connected with the Atlantic flight have received and are receiving the close attention of the Air Ministry in consultation with private persons and companies interested. The question of direct Government participation has not been finally settled.

Sir A. FELL

Is any sum to be devoted to this attempted Atlantic flight?

Mr. PRATT

Perhaps the hon. Member will give notice of that question.
