§ 11. Mr. A. Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Air whether it is in tended to take over outright control of the aircraft industry?
§ Sir K. WoodNo, Sir. I do not contemplate that it will be either necessary or desirable for the Government to take over the direct control of the aircraftindustry. It is, of course, possible that experience of war conditions may show that adjustments are necessary in the relations between the Air Ministry and the aircraft industry, and if this proves to be the case the House can rest assured that such adjustments will be made.
