REPORT ON CIVIL AVIATION. AN INVOLVED PROBLEM. IMPERIAL AIRWAYS AND STAFF. (United Press Association —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, January 23. The.committee under Lord Cadman. set up to investigate civil aviation undertakings found problems so involved that it is unable to report to Parliament on February 1 and will submit an interim report, which is expect ed to suggest the need for revision of the basis of subsidies and deal with the relationship of Imperial Airways and its staff.
“Reynolds News’’ says that the thoroughgoing methods of the committee indicate that the recommendations may in some respect be sensational and that the resignations of several highlyplaced officials are expected.
A cablegram from London dated November 20 stated: In a recent debate in the House of Commons certain charges were made of inefficiency in civil aviation undertakings, and at the close of the debate the Parliamentary Secretary to the Air Ministry (Mr T. L. E. B. Guinness) announced, on behalf of Viscount Swinton (Secretary of State), that in fairness to both sides a departmental inquiry would be held. The Secretary of State of Air has invited Lord Cadman (chairman of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company) to act as chairman of the committee > other members of which are Sir Warren Fisher (Permanent Secretary of the Treasury) and Sir William Brown. (Permanent Secretary of the Board of Trade).
