HC Deb 22 March 1927 vol 204 c209
69. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, with a view to throwing light on the causes of accidents, he will ascertain and publish the average number of hours flown per day by British Air Force pilots in the six summer months and the six winter months, respectively, in the years 1920, 1923, 1925 and 1926?

Sir P. SASSOON

For the reasons to which reference was made by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in his speech on the 10th March, it would not be in the public interest to publish the figures for which the hon. and gallant Member asks. I can, however, assure him that all statistics which bear directly or indirectly on the causes of accidents are regularly collated, analysed and fully considered at the Air Ministry.
