§ Mr. L. Smithasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of several accidents which have recently occurred to Royal Air Force machines owing to the failure of their petrol supply, he will give instructions that no machines shall be put into service in the future unless they are fitted with the most efficient and up-to-date system of petrol control which will reduce to a minimum the responsibility and anxiety of the pilot in this regard?
§ Sir P. SassoonThere is no one ideal system of petrol control, universally applicable, but I can assure my hon. Friend that in all the new types of aircraft every possible care is taken to ensure that the petrol system is as efficient and up to date as it can be made.
