§ 30. Mr. Simmondsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air on what date he gave to British Airways, Limited, permission to use German and American aircraft on air services subsidised by the Exchequer; and by what date he will require these foreign aircraft to be replaced by air liners of British manufacture.
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadThe dates asked for in the first part of the question are 8th December and 24th December, 1936, respectively. As regards the second part, I regret that I cannot add to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend on the 9th of last month.
§ Mr. SimmondsIn view of the very serious matter raised in this question, and the effect it is having on British engineering prestige, I beg to give notice that I shall raise it on the Adjournment at an early date.
