§ 16. Commander OLIVER LOCKER-LAMPSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how many gliding clubs now exist in the United Kingdom to-day; what steps are being taken to organise competitions between gliding clubs; and whether a day could be set aside for a national gliding competition?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI understand that there are at present some 22 gliding clubs in the United Kingdom, though not all of these are active. The matters raised in the last two parts of the question are primarily for the Royal Aero Club and the British Gliding Association.
