§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Minister of Aviation if he will set up a committee of inquiry to ascertain the reasons for the development of metal fatigue in the Comet aircraft and the Valiant bomber.
§ Mr. Ray JenkinsThe problem of metal fatigue is under continual study by my Department and by the aircraft industry and I do not consider that it is necessary to set up a special Committee of Inquiry. Investigation of the metal fatigue in the Valiant aircraft is in progress.
