§ 60. Brigadier-General NATION (for Rear-Admiral Sir MURRAY SUETER)asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, under the present expansion scheme of the Royal Air Force, he can give an assurance that the full interests of civil aviation will be safeguarded and that every possible assistance will be given to develop civil aviation for the transport of passengers, mails, and light merchandise not only in these islands but throughout the Empire?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI can as sure my hon. and gallant Friend that the Government's policy for developing civil aviation is being steadily pursued concurrently and parallel with the expansion of the Royal Air Force, and that everything possible will be done at the Air Ministry to reconcile the interests of both branches of aviation to the best general advantage.
