§ 39. Mr. CHADWICKasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry if he proposes to take action on the Report of the Committee on Education and Research in Aeronautics; and whether arrangements will be made for the common use of research establishments by the various interests, including industrial firms of aircraft constructors?
§ Major TRYONThe answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is that the recommendations of the Committee on Education and Research in Aeronautics have been approved in principle by the Air Council, and steps are being taken to give effect to them, more particularly with regard to the formation of an Aeronautical Research Committee and the provision of instruction in aeronautics at the Imperial College in connection with the Zaharoff Chair of Aviation.
As regards the second part of the question, the results of such research carried out at Government establishments as are of interest to aircraft constructors generally, are already made available; but it would be quite impossible for industrial firms to have common use of Government Research establishments.
