Reed. 1.30 p.m. RUGBY, May 4.: Replying to questions in the House of Commons as to the Government's aircraft expansion programme, Earl Winterton announced that he hoped to be in a position to make a comprehensive statement in the near future which would deal with many of the points raised. In another reply regarding the scope and objects of investigations by experts visiting America- and Canada, Lord Winterton said he was not at present able to add anything to the full reply he gave last week. Replying to a further question about mass production methods. Lord Winterton said that considerable deliveries had already been made of aeroplanes by methods approaching mass production. Large-scale production methods were being applied as far as was practicable consistent with the high standard imposed by considerations of efficiency.
