§ 38. Mr. SIMMONDSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the Air Ministry have taken steps to encourage any British shipping lines to use flying boats?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThe Air Ministry are always ready to advise regarding such proposals and, where this can usefully be done, to take the initiative with the appropriate interests. A number of analogous schemes for the use of aircraft in connection with shipping services have in fact been discussed with different shipping companies.
Mr. WESTHave any steps been taken to encourage British shipping lines to employ British sailors in place of cheap coloured sailors?
