HC Deb 14 December 1981 vol 15 c1W
20. Sir David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he is satisfied that there will be sufficient young civil pilots with all the relevant qualifications available to satisfy the needs of the British civil airlines throughout the current decade.

Mr. Sproat

I am satisfied that the supply of pilots should be sufficient to meet British civil airlines' needs for the foreseeable future, but I will monitor the position as time goes by.
