Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will call for an immediate report from his inspectorate on the violations of the air navigation orders regulating pilots' hours of work by a certain airline, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Nuneaton; and whether he will make a statement.

The Department's Flight Operations Inspectorate, in collaboration with the Air Registration Board and with the agreement of the airline concerned, is engaged in a thorough investigation of the matters referred to in the Question and in recent Press reports. I have no Statement to make at present.
