HC Deb 02 October 1924 vol 177 c325W
Mr. F. GOULD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the Talbot touring four-seater car, registered No. XT8501, which was waiting outside the premises of Messrs. Hinds and Company, Limited, Blackheath, near the Kidbrooke Stores Depot, between 11.30 a.m. and 12 noon on Monday, 22nd September, was an Air Ministry car; if not, whether it is in accordance with Air Ministry Regulations for a. uniformed corporal of the Royal Air Force to be detailed to drive a private car for a lady on a shopping expedition; and, if not, will he give directions that such contraventions of the Regulations should cease immediately?

Mr. LEACH

In answer to the first part of the question, the car referred to was not an Air Ministry one. As regards the remainder of the question, I am not in a position to say in what circumstances it was being driven by an Air Force corporal, but I am making inquiries and will inform my hon. Friend of the result.
