HC Deb 08 November 1929 vol 231 cc1411-2W
Captain H. BALFOUR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if, in view of the desirability that all Members of Parliament should have an opportunity to inspect His Majesty's airship R 101, the Air Ministry intend to provide facilities for flight beyond the 75 places already balloted for or, alter natively, facilities for ground inspection if a flight cannot be arranged?

Mr. MONTAGUE

There are difficulties in the way of providing facilities for a further flight in R 101, but if there is a general desire on the part of Members who have been unsuccessful in the ballot to be given an opportunity of seeing one or other of the airships, my Noble Friend will see what can be arranged.
