HC Deb 27 March 1935 vol 299 c1910
11. Mr. SIMMONDS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he has decided to relax the requirement for blind flying experience for pilots with B licences not normally engaged in public transport services?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir P. Sassoon)

The possibility of some such arrangement as my hon. Friend suggests is still under examination.

Mr. SIMMONDS

Will my right hon. Friend endeavour to make an announcement at an early date, because the livelihood of these pilots is at stake while this sword of Damocles is still over their heads?
