§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a 358W further statement on the air crash at Manchester Airport on 20th March, 1969, involving the deaths of three persons.
§ Mr. William RodgersI have little to add to the Statement that I made to the House on Friday last. The inspector's investigation is now well under way; the wreckage is being transported to a hanger at Farnborough for detailed examination; the flight recorder trace has been sent for transcription prior to being analysed. At this stage it would therefore be unwise to speculate upon the possible causes of this accident.—[Vol. 780, c. 899–902.]
