§ 21. Mr. SIMMONDSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air upon what conditions the French Government permitted the flight of the Imperial Airways aircraft "Hengist" from Paris to Marseilles on the 8th instant; and what further flights have been similarly authorised?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe permission of the French Government was not required, since the particular aircraft used on this occasion was making a special flight from London to Cairo, to which centre she was being transferred and from which she will operate in future.
