§ Sir A. SinclairNo more information is available about the cause of the accident to General Sikorski's aircraft than was given to the hon. Member in reply to his Question on 23rd September, 1943. It is known that the accident was due to the jamming of the elevator controls, but the cause of this jamming has not been established. My reference to this accident in the Debate on the Motion for the Adjournment on 15th February last was made from memory, and I am grateful to the hon. Member for giving me the opportunity of correcting it.
