HC Deb 27 June 1934 vol 291 cc1109-10
13. Captain BALFOUR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air, whether it is proposed to introduce an age limit below which young persons would not be permitted to receive flying instruction?

Sir P. SASSOON

It has been decided to prohibit solo flying by persons below 17 years of age, and revised regulations to this effect will be issued shortly. No age limit will be prescribed for dual instruction.
