§ Mr. Perkinsasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether any alteration in the rates and methods of pay of pilots is being contemplated by Imperial Airways, Limited?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadI do not think that it would be appropriate for me to address an inquiry which would necessarily be of a hypothetical character to the Company on a matter which is primarily one for settlement between them and the personnel concerned.
