§ Mr. LEWIS HASLAMasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that trial flights are being taken at the schools of aviation of the Royal Air Naval Division when there is no medical officer in attendance or at hand; and will he issue regulations to ensure that medical officers shall be appointed and shall attend on these occasions?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAIn all schools of aviation, when trial flights take place, there is a naval medical officer, except at Redcar. At this latter place the Admiralty surgeon and agent at Redcar was responsible for the care of the flying station. In consequence, however, of a representation from Redcar as to the need of a fulltime medical officer at that establishment an active-service medical officer has been nominated.
