HC Deb 01 June 1949 vol 465 c2089
11. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether he has now received the report of the inquiry into the crash of the Dutch airliner near Prestwick.

Mr. Lindgren

No, Sir.

Mr. Hughes

Can the hon. Gentleman give any indication why this report has been so long delayed?

Mr. Lindgren

The law is not a very speedy instrument in England; it appears to be even less speedy in Scotland.

Mr. Rankin

Can my hon. Friend say whether he has yet received any report on the collision of the Anson and the Dakota at Coventry, and whether it is being published?

Mr. Lindgren

That, Sir, is another question.
