A. J. Rankin, IN PARLIAMENT Flying Clubs' SubsidiesMR. LOUI>. SMITH, on March 27, asked the Secretary of State for Air whether it is now an accepted principle of the policy of his Departmentthat no more subsidies should be granted to flying clubs ; and, if not, whether he will consider the claims of Sheffield at an early date ? Sir Samuel Hoare : It is not so much a question of policy as of unavoidablefinancial limitation, and I am afraid that the money available for this purpose makes it impossible to add to the number of light aeroplane clubsalready in receipt of subsidy. .Mr. Smith asked the exact nature of the benefits that will accrue toflvinc clubs becoming affiliated to National Flying Services, Ltd.; and whether these talents will be the same for clubs that already receive theGovernment subsidy and for those that do not t Sir S. Hoare : The exact nature of the benefits referred to will dependupon the arrangements which may be made between National I'lying Services, Ltd., and the flying clubs, and I am not in a position to give anydetailed information upon this subject. Speaking generally, however, 1 understand that it is the intention that affiliated clubs should have theI'H- of all the aerodromes and landing grounds created by the company, and that the recreational facilities and amenities provided at the company'si Mitral club Should be available to members of the affiliated clubs. So far as 1 am aware, the benefits will be the same for all affiliated clubs, whetherthey have or have not been in receipt of Government subsidy. Poisoned Fumes VISCOUNT SANDON asked what steps are being taken to remove the'lingers, both as to the Royal Air Force and civil aviation, as revealed by tl"-inquest on Flight-Sergeant Pcarcy, who died during flight from poisonedJnmes from his engine? Sir S. Hoare : The accident referred to arose out of a most unusual1 "nibination of circumstances in connection with a particular form of •ipparatus for heating the cockpit from the exhaust. It is unlikely in the'•xtrcme that the same kind of accident would happen again, but in view "i its possibility and in the interests of safety, I have had the use of this•M'Paratus discontinued pending further experiments which are being "iidertaken for its improvement. The heating apparatus in use on civil•urcraft is of an entirely different design, and has gis-en no trouble over '< number of years. m « PERSONALS Married m , Marrie '-iiGHT-LiEfi.
