HC Deb 22 June 1949 vol 466 c179
9. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he has now received a report on the accident resulting from a collision between an Anson and a Dakota near Coventry; and when it is to be published.

Mr. Lindgren

My noble Friend has received this Report and the question of its publication is under consideration.

Wing-Commander Hulbert

Does not the Minister agree that these Reports are invariably published? Why is there any difference in this case?

Mr. Lindgren

Yes, Sir; they are invariably published and I have every reason to believe that this one will be published. One of the aircraft involved was a Royal Air Force machine, however, and the matter of consultation with my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Air arises.
