HC Deb 27 February 1935 vol 298 cc1137-8W
Mr. GOLDIE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, in order to ensure the safety of persons travelling by air liners, he will take steps to render it compulsory for every such air liner to carry a steward in attendance on such passengers?

Sir P. SASSOON

My Noble Friend does not consider that such a regulation is necessary.

Advisory Committee was consulted in the matter, and with the approval of the committee he took the same view as I did, that the employment of the firm of sub-contractors in question could properly be agreed to. The employment of this particular company of sub-contractors involves a saving of £57,000 to the Trinidad Government.
