HC Deb 19 July 1927 vol 209 c225
46. Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Prime Minister, in view of the fact that British civil aviation is falling behind some other countries, whether he will consider setting up an independent public inquiry into the whole question of civil aviation and the comparative merits of control by a military department and entire independence of military control, as in the case of the mercantile marine?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

No, Sir. I do not think any useful purpose would be served by adopting my hon. and gallant Friend's proposal.
