STATE OF BRITISH AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY BRINGS QUESTIONS
London, Apr. 26.
The deep national interest in the position of the British aeroplane industry was reflected in the House of Commons to-day when Lord Winterton, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, replied to a lengthy private notice question by Mr. F. Montague, Labour.
Lord Winterton explained that a party of experts was now visiting the United States and Canada solely for exploratory inquiries. The party would investigate - whether types of aircraft which might be suitable for RAF. purposes were capable of early delivery. The party would also examine the capacities and potentialities. of production of aircraft in Canada.
The investigation was part of the, early opportunity of raising the review of defences referred to by the whole question of air production---- Premier on March 14. Since the| Reuter Special, Government had decided that cir-
