HC Deb 18 June 1930 vol 240 cc391-2
36. Sir A. POWNALL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can now state the arrangements for the flight of Members in July in the airship?

39. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he can now give the date when he intends to arrange for a flight for Members of Parliament in the R.100 or R.101?

Mr. MONTAGUE

My Noble Friend anticipates no difficulty in regard to the flight for hon. Members, but he would prefer not to make final arrangements until R.100 has successfully completed her trial flight after the repairs which she has been undergoing.

Sir A. POWNALL

Can the hon. Gentleman give us some idea as to when the flight will take place, because there are so many engagements between now and the end of July?

Mr. MONTAGUE

It is hoped that it will be one of the middle Saturdays in July.

An HON. MEMBER

July of this year?
