§ 29. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can make any statement showing the increase in aircraft production in the British Isles during the previous 12 months; and whether same is at present showing a marked upward trend?
§ Sir K. WoodIt would not be in the public interest to give figures of actual deliveries. I can, however, state that there is every prospect that the forecast of production which I gave in introducing the Air Estimates on 9th March this year will be fully realised, and that production is showing a continued upward trend.
§ Mr. DayCan the Minister say whether Great Britain is now overtaking the gap between this country and the Continent in this matter?
