HC Deb 29 July 1938 vol 338 c3510W
Mr. Kelly

asked the Secretary of State for Air, whether he is aware that the difficulty in reaching reconsideration of the Vernon case is that, while the National Staff side believe they can produce evidence of fact which justifies its reopening, they are faced with the consideration that other people are involved, and they, are not prepared to risk the careers of such persons unless they have assurance that the evidence will be considered on its merits and that such persons concerned will not be unduly penalised; and whether he can waive his refusal to receive a deputation?

Sir K. Wood

I have nothing to add to the replies which were given on this subject to the hon. Members for West Fife (Mr. Gallacher) and for Ogmore (Mr. E. J. Williams), respectively, on 18th July and to the hon. Member for Ogmore on 27th July.
