HC Deb 14 December 1949 vol 470 c269W
85. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for Air if in view of the loss on the Wings Pageant in the summer of 1947, when the expenditure included £20,057 for the hire of motor transport, he will cease ventures of this nature.

Mr. A. Henderson

There have been no such pageants since 1947 and none is contemplated.
