HC Deb 09 December 1948 vol 459 c556
45. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider that inquiries into accidents in which national corporations are involved shall be conducted by an independent tribunal instead of by inspectors of the Department concerned.

The Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)

No, Sir.

Wing-Commander Hulbert

Does not the right hon. Gentleman consider it very unsatisfactory that in the case of civil aviation, where a Government corporation may be involved in an accident on a Government-owned airfield, the inspector of that Department should conduct the inquiry?

The Prime Minister

The hon. and gallant Member asks me a very wide and general question. If he has any question dealing with a specific Department he should put it to the Departmental Minister.
