§ 92. Dr. Bennettasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what provisions he is contemplating for the limitation of periods of continuous time on duty by aircrew; what measure of agreement he has reached with the professional bodies concerned; what differences of opinion exist; and what measures he is taking to meet divergencies of opinion.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterI am proposing shortly to lay before Parliament regulations enforcing limitations on hours of duty to he undertaken by pilots and certain other aircrew members. The general view of the professional bodies concerned is that while regarding my proposals as a substantial improvement on the present position, they would prefer more detailed regulations and restrictions.
