HC Deb 26 May 1965 vol 713 cc90-1W
63. Commander Courtney

asked the Minister of Aviation if he is aware of the review now taking place of the Society of British Aerospace Companies, Shell and British Petroleum, with a view to ending the Flying Club Loan Fund, consequent upon recent Government decisions in the field of light aviation; if he will provide alternative means of support; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I am aware the sponsors are reviewing the future of the Private Flying Loan Fund, but I hope they will decide to continue it. I am sure this fund can continue to be of great value to private flying particularly now the Government has indicated its readiness to support the manufacture of a range of British light aircraft.
