HC Deb 16 October 1946 vol 427 c217W
132. Group-Captain Wilcock

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, if he will consider granting a small subsidy to flying clubs to enable the cost of flying to be reduced, thus bringing flying within the reach of large numbers who at present are unable to afford the high costs and, by increasing the activities of these clubs, provide further employment for pilots and ground maintenance personnel.

Mr. Lindgren

My noble Friend is anxious to encourage the flying clubs and has the most appropriate method of achieving this under urgent consideration.
