§ 93. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he is now in a position to state what assistance is going to be given to gliding clubs to help their re-establishment as has been done with the light aeroplane clubs.
Mr. Ivor Thomas:I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 20th March to the hon. and gallant Member for Uxbridge (Flight-Lieutenant Beswick). As I told the hon. Member in answer to his supplementary question on that day, the help given to light aeroplane clubs is by the sale of surplus aircraft, but no surplus gliders are available.
