§ Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Minister of Technology what research he is undertaking to ensure that emergency exits in civil airliners can withstand crash impacts so that they may still be opened.
§ Mr. CarmichaelThe problem of ensuring that emergency exits have satisfactory opening qualities in a crash is one mainly of designing to rather ill-defined conditions. Consideration is, therefore, being given to undertaking more work on the overall "crash-worthiness" of aircraft.
