HC Deb 07 August 1919 vol 119 cc592-3W
Sir H. NIELD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the existing and current policies issued under the Government scheme of insurance against damage by aircraft entitle the holders to be indemnified against damage done by Government-owned aircraft exercised and controlled by members of the Royal Air Force or other Services of the Crown and by civilian-owned aircraft?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

Damage caused by aircraft employed by the British Government is covered under the Government aircraft policy, but damage consequent upon the use of aircraft other than those under Government control or ownership is not so covered.
