§ 77. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has yet seen the text of the recently concluded aviation convention between France and Czechoslovakia; and can he state what steps are being taken to preserve rights on this market to the British aeroplane manufacturers?
§ Sir S. HOARENo, Sir. I have not seen the text of the agreement. I understand that it has not yet been ratified. In the meanwhile, I am in communication with Prague as to whether any steps will be necessary to safeguard British interests. I cannot give an answer until I know in detail the terms of the agreement.
