§ 51. Mr. Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will consider the desirability of some regulation for the provision of parachutes for passengers on State-subsidised air lines?
Captain BalfourThe question of requiring parachutes to be provided for passengers on civil air transport aircraft is one that has been frequently considered, and the decision which has hitherto been arrived at is that it would not, on several grounds, be advisable to make such provision compulsory, at all events at the present time.
