§ 18. Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Minister of Aviation if he has now received proposals from the Transport Aircraft Requirements Committee as to the development of the Skyvan light freighter.
§ The Minister of Aviation (Mr. Julian Amery)The prototype of the Skyvan Mark I made its first flight on 17th January. Weather conditions since then have restricted test flying and it has not been possible to assess fully the new aerodynamic features of this design.
§ Mr. MillsCan my right hon. Friend say whether, apart from this delay in the flights, there is any other information holding up the inquiries?
§ Mr. AmeryNot to my knowledge, but if my hon. Friend has any information to this effect I would be grateful if he would communicate it to me.
