60. Sir A. V. Harvey

asked the Minister of Aviation what steps are being taken to provide light transport aircraft for the Royal Air Force; and on what date Operational Requirement 351 was issued to certain aircraft manufacturers.

An order is being placed for a military version of the Avro 748 to meet the requirement for a light cargo aircraft.
