HC Deb 08 December 1937 vol 330 c367
60. Mr. Perkins

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the total number of fare-paying passengers who have lost their lives since 1st June, 1934, while flying in Air France machines, and similar figures for Imperial Airways, Limited?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

The figures are 3 and 16 respectively.

Mr. Hulbert

Is it not a fact that Imperial Airways carry more fare-paying passengers than any other operating company and that they have the greatest reputation for safety of any company?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

Imperial Air ways have an extremely good reputation for safety.

Mr. George Griffiths

Do not Imperial Airways get a bigger subsidy from this Government than any other air company in the world?
