HC Deb 04 May 1936 vol 311 c1356W
Mr. LYONS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will indicate and compare the numbers of privately-owned aircraft in this country and in every European country, respectively, at the latest convenient date?

Sir P. SASSOON

The number of privately-owned aircraft in the United Kingdom on the 31st December, 1935, that is to say civil aircraft exclusive of those used for transport, training, club, joy-riding and taxi work was 589. I regret that corresponding figures for European countries are not available.
