HC Deb 31 October 1956 vol 558 cc154-5W
75. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that the present procedure for inquiries into aircraft accidents gives the impression to the general public that the Service has something to hide ; and whether, in the interests of the Service and of the public, he will consider reviewing the procedure to allow for inquiries to be public, except when matters of security are involved.

Mr. Birch

I have nothing to add to the statement which my hon. Friend made on this subject in the course of the debate on the Adjournment last Wednesday.
