Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the body of Flight-Lieutenant L. W. H. Phillips, who crashed near Chengchow Island, west of Hong Kong, has been found; whether the machine or any parts of it have been found and is an inquiry being held into the causes of this accident?

Sir S. HOARE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second part, two floats of the aircraft were found on the day of the accident, but no further discoveries have been reported. As regards the last part, the usual court of inquiry will be held.
