HC Deb 18 December 1935 vol 307 c1740
52. Lord APSLEY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the number of private owners flying their own machines more than 50 hours during the course of 1935, and the comparative number in 1928?

Sir P. SASSOON

I regret that the information desired by my Noble Friend is not available.

Lord APSLEY

Is it not the case that every owner pilot has to send in his log book complete with every hour's flight and fill up an enormous number of complicated forms before he can get a new licence, and surely that information is in the Ministry?

Sir P. SASSOON

One would have to collect all private owners' log books to get the required information. This is not done.
