HC Deb 16 September 1931 vol 256 cc830-1
21. Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what reply has been sent to the civil aviation section of the London Chamber of Commerce with reference to their suggestion for the use of standard air signs being placed on prominent buildings throughout Great Britain?

Sir P. SASSOON

So far as I am aware no official communication from the London Chamber of Commerce of the character stated has been received by the Air Ministry. A memorandum on the subject of a scheme of standard air signs by means of ground markings has, however, been prepared by the Automobile Association and has received tie approval of the Air Ministry. I understand that the civil aviation section of the London Chamber of Commerce has issued this memorandum to local authorities and other bodies throughout the country.

Mr. DAY

Will the Under-Secretary say what is the attitude of the Air Ministry towards the memorandum?

Sir P. SASSOON

They have approved it. The London Chamber of Commerce have issued it, and it now remains for local authorities to carry it out.

Forward to
