HC Deb 18 November 1938 vol 341 cc1217-8W
Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for Air, whether he is aware that the annual German output of all types of aircraft is in the neighbourhood of 5,000, with their existing factories working for one shift of eight hours, and can consequently be increased at any moment to 15,000 aircraft a year; and what steps he is taking to obtain a comparable output in this country?
