§ 59. Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will direct the Civil Aviation Authority to make sure that a substantial proportion of the executive officers of the Authority are persons with a distinct and practical knowledge of the aviation industry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NobleNo. I have no power to give such a direction, but the hon. Member may rest assured that the initial staff will be drawn almost entirely from the Civil Aviation Division of my Department, the National Air Traffic Services and from the staffs of the Air Registration Board and the Air Transport Licensing Board.
