PRIVATE FLYING
EEPOET .ON CONTROL
DIVIDED OPINIONS
United Press Association—By Electric Teloerapli—Copyright. (Received July 21, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, July 20. Lord Londonderry, Secretary of
State for Air, in a memorandum published with the report'of the Committee on the Control of Private Plying, says that the Government has no intention of transferring the administration of civil aviation from the Air Ministry to a purely civil department or a committee of State. Though there would be advantages in such a transfer technical considerations preclude it. The position should be reviewed within a decade.
Two members of the committee. Mr. Gordon England and Colonel MooreBrabazon, publish a reservation expressing the opinion that no greater encouragement could be given to commercial and private aviation than by a divorcement from the purely military Air Ministry.
Lord Londonderry, in his reply, insists that the policy of British civil aviation always aimed first and foremost at commercial development for pacific and Imperial purposes and for mail services.
