Mr. Edwardsasked the Minister of Aircraft Production whether he proposes to take any action in connection with the dismissal of Sir Roy Fedden by the Bristol Aeroplane Company?
§ Colonel LlewellinI spent several months trying to compose the differences between Sir Roy Fedden and the Bristol Aeroplane Company. In the result, and after taking all the technical and other advice available to me, I came to the conclusion that the war effort would best be served if the connection between Sir Roy and the company were brought to an end and if his services were used in some other direction. I have invited Sir Roy to undertake a most important task on behalf of my Ministry and I very much hope that he will accept the invitation.
