HC Deb 03 May 1939 vol 346 cc1897-8W
Captain P. Macdonald

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can now give any more definite indication when legislation dealing with the establishment of an overseas air transport corporation will be brought before the House; and whether he is in a position to give an assurance that it will be introduced sufficiently early to reach the Statute Book before the Summer Recess?

Sir K. Wood

I hope to be able to present the legislation referred to in the course of this month but I regret that I cannot give a precise date at the moment. With regard to the second part of the question, my hon. and gallant Friend will be aware of the congested state of the Parliamentary programme but every effort will be made to pass the Bill into law during the present Session.
