§ Mr. EVERARDasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, with a View to assisting air navigation, he will take steps to see that owners of gasworks in towns have the name of the town painted in white letters on the top of one of their gasometers?
§ Mr. MONTAGUEThe adoption of the hon. Member's suggestion by the owners of gasworks would be welcomed by the Air Ministry, as ground markings of this kind are of assistance to pilots in certain circumstances. At the same time, it is necessary, in the interest of safety, for pilots to study the normal methods of navigation which do not rely upon such aids, and therefore my Noble Friend would not feel justified in putting pressure on the owners of gasworks, as suggested.
