HC Deb 26 November 1928 vol 223 c57W
Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will consider the adoption of a regulation compelling the owner of every private aeroplane to join a licensed organisation, which shall be held responsible for all damage to property wrought by its members or associates through accident or otherwise?

Sir S. HOARE

In general, so far as I am aware, the owners of private aircraft do already cover third-party risks by insurance, and I am not satisfied that the need has been shown for the adoption of such a suggestion as that put forward by my hon. and gallant Friend.
