§ Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will propose to the International Civil Aviation Organisation that it should require the fitting of rearward facing seats in civil airliners.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsNo. Previous approaches to the International Civil Aviation Organisation failed to attract support from other Member States, and, in the absence of new evidence and argument, there seems no reason to believe any further proposal would meet with greater success. The Board of Trade will, however, continue to keep this matter under review.
