(Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. March 10, 2.40 p.m.) LONDON, March. 9.
During his speech on the air estimates in the House of Commons, the Air Minister, Sir Kingsley Wood, stressed the Empire aspect of civil aviation.
He said: "The objective is the production of a British airliner which can be used by the operating companies and is saleable on the world markets."
Several members drew attention to the unpunctuality of the Empire air mails.
Captain V. Cazalet (Con., East Islington) hoped that a date would soon be announced for the extension of the service to New Zealand.
