Mr. PERKINS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the total number of civil aeroplanes employed on regular air-lines owned by France, Germany, America, and England in 1934?

Sir P. SASSOON

The total numbers of civil aeroplanes registered in the names of companies operating regular air-lines in France, Germany, the United States of America and in this country on 31st December last were approximately 303, 208, 600 and 60, respectively. I am unable to state how many of these aircraft are actually in current employment.
