§ 45. Mr. Perkinsasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the valuable services rendered by Sir Donald Banks to civil aviation; whether, in view of his transfer from this Department to the Import Duties Advisory Committee, the Government's policy towards civil aviation has been reversed; or whether it is still the intention of the Government to place British civil aviation in front of the civil aviation of any other country?
§ The Prime MinisterThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The answer to the second and third parts of the question is that the policy of the Government remains unchanged.
§ Mr. PerkinsIs it still the intention of His Majesty's Government that British civil aviation shall be in front of the civil aviation of any other country?
§ The Prime MinisterI have said that the policy of the Government remains unchanged, and this aspect of the policy, therefore, still stands.
