HC Deb 09 December 1936 vol 318 cc1978-9
25. Mr. PERKINS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air when the Maybury Committee was appointed; the total number of sittings that have taken place; and when he expects to receive their report?

Sir P. SASSOON

The committee was appointed in July, 1935, and has held 22 sittings. My Noble Friend hopes to receive their report very shortly now.

Mr. PERKINS

Is the right hon. Baronet aware that the continued delay in the publication of the report has given the very unfortunate impression in aviation circles that there is something in it which the Air Ministry desire to suppress?

Sir P. SASSOON

No, Sir, I am not aware of that.
