§ 53. Mr. HARRISONasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has set up a committee to inquire into the question of a scheme of State-aided insurance for those ranks of the Royal Air Force whose duties necessitate their presence in flying machines when in the air; and, if so, when their Report can be expected?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Samuel Hoare)The question of reasonable insurance facilities for flying personnel has been under active consideration in my Department since my statement last June, and I have been in 1818 continuous communication with the insurance offices on the subject. No committee has been appointed, and I do not think that it will be necessary to set one up, as I have strong hopes of being in a position to make a satisfactory announcement at an early date.
