§ 30. Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has received the resolution passed by the Air Conference urging on His Majesty's Government the importance of Egypt to the future of service aviation; and whether he has any statement to make as to the reservations in this respect when Egypt ceases to be under the protectorate of the Crown?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have received the resolution. I need hardly say that the Air Council were already fully alive to the importance of this matter, but they welcome the resolution of the Air Conference as helping to stimulate public I interest in the new and difficult problems 1543 of British air power. The House will readily understand that I am unable, at the present time, to make any statement as to the policy of His Majesty's Government in Egypt.
