HC Deb 13 March 1935 vol 299 c372
16. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the recommendation of the Gorell Committee on Civil Aviation has been considered to the effect that the United Kingdom representative on the International Commission for Air Navigation should press for a relaxation of the medical requirements for the renewal of private pilots' A licences; and whether this representative has been instructed accordingly?

Sir P. SASSOON

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.

Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

Can I have an assurance from the Minister that the policy of the Air Ministry will be directed towards relaxation rather than the encroachment of bureaucracy?

Sir P. SASSOON

Yes, Sir. That is exactly what is intended.
