HC Deb 27 June 1939 vol 349 cc204-5
45. Mr. Perkins

asked the Prime Minister whether he will allocate two days for a discussion on the White Paper on the report of the Committee on Control of Flying?

The Prime Minister (Mr. Chamberlain)

No, Sir. I regret that I can hold out no hope of special time being given for the discussion of the White Paper referred to by my hon. Friend.

Mr. Perkins

Is the Prime Minister aware that the Air Ministry appear to be taking no steps to put a stop to this nuisance of aerial advertising and banner-flying over London, which is a danger to people underneath; and will he not consider giving one day on which the matter might be discussed?

The Prime Minister

I am under the impression that my right hon. Friend has stated that legislation would be necessary to deal with it.
