HC Deb 27 April 1920 vol 128 c1018
24. Major GLYN

asked the Secretary of State for War and Air whether, in view of the present condition of a civil aviation industry in this country, he will issue as a Parliamentary Paper a complete statement in regard to the civil aviation branch of the Air Ministry, showing, separately, what results have actually been accomplished up to date; at what cost and how has the money voted been disbursed; what is the settled policy of that Department to be in carrying out the policy adopted by the Government for the future; and in what manner the Department suggests that efforts may be made to encourage the industries engaged in the manufacture of aeroplanes or parts of aeroplanes in this country?

Mr. CHURCHILL

As I stated in debate on the 11th March last, I hope very shortly to lay before the House a Paper by the Controller-General of Civil Aviation. I think my hon. and gallant Friend will find there the detailed information to which he refers.
