§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is satisfied that the transport requirements of the Royal Air Force are being formulated sufficiently early for the necessary orders to be placed for their manufacture; and if he will ensure that the specifications of a light freighter, such as the Skyvan, will make provision for its possible additional use as a civil aircraft for export.
§ Mr. RidsdaleMy right hon. Friend is at present considering with the Minister of Aviation the Second Report from the Estimates Committee which includes recommendations on both the establishment of future transport aircraft requirements and assistance to light transport aircraft projects.
