HC Deb 19 July 1923 vol 166 cc2509-10W
Mr. SPOOR

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in order to allay the apprehension which exists regarding the loss of life from aeroplane accidents, he will institute an inquiry to ascertain whether the present methods in the manufacture of aeroplanes are the best and safest?

Sir S. HOARE

Close and constant supervision by the Air Ministry of the manufacture of aeroplanes has disclosed no cause for apprehension as to the methods adopted, and I see no reason for instituting a special inquiry.
