§ 23. Mr. Simmondsasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can make any statement with regard to the missing Imperial Airways liner "Hannibal"?
§ Sir K. WoodI regret that I am not able to add to the reports which have appeared in the Press to-day about this unfortunate accident. Arrangements are being made for an official investigation. No survivors have been found, and I am 365 sure the House will wish to express its sympathy with the relatives of those on board the plane.
§ Mr. SimmondsCan my right hon. Friend assure the House that all diligence is being exercised in an endeavour to find the wreckage?
§ Sir K. WoodYes, Sir, I am sure that that is being done.
§ Sir K. WoodI am afraid that things do not look very hopeful.
