§ 34. Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the Minister of Technology what research is being undertaken to establish the degree of distortion in the reading of magnetic compasses resulting from ferrous deposits in the ground.
§ Mr. Maxwell-HyslopIf it appears that this was a contributory factor to at least one of the accidents—at Perpignan—would the Minister have an investigation in order to see that unnecessary navigational accidents of this kind do not recur?
§ Mr. DellIf the inquiry which is going on into that accident reveals that this was the cause, then that will create a new situation which will have to be considered.
