HC Deb 30 March 1938 vol 333 cc2018-9W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can give the numbers of privately-owned aircraft in this country and any other countries in Europe, respectively, for which figures are available, at the last convenient date?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

The number of privately-owned aircraft in the United Kingdom on the 31st December, 1937, that is to say, civil aircraft exclusive of those used for transport, training, club, joy-riding and taxi-work, was 672. It is regretted that no corresponding figures are available for any other European country.
