HC Deb 17 June 1936 vol 313 cc980-1
35. Mr. ROSTRON DUCKWORTH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the arrangements of the Government for limiting profits on the manufacture of aircraft allow ample provision for dealing with the obsolescence and replacement of plant and the promotion of research?

Sir P. SASSOON

All proper regard will be had to legitimate and reasonable expenditure on the objects mentioned by my hon. Friend.

Mr. DUCKWORTH

Does not the right hon. Gentleman agree that research should be made soon, and that adequate allowance for production costs should be made—

HON. MEMBERS
