HC Deb 06 December 1949 vol 470 c1705
59. Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is now in a position to announce a reduction in the duty on aviation spirit for flying clubs which provide flying tuition.

Sir S. Cripps

No; Sir.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

May I ask the right hon. and learned Gentleman whether, in view of the fact that it is now being said that the future of the flying clubs lies largely in their own hands, this is not a practical way in which the Government can show a proper appreciation of what they are trying to do?

Sir S. Cripps

That is a matter of opinion.
