EPLYING to suggestions in the House of Commoi s that there should be a comprehensive enquiry into the administration of military as well as civil aviation, the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, said that he did not know whether Mr. Frederick Montague, who had made the suggestion, speaking for Labour, "would like us to imitate Germany in the method she employed—regimenting the country for the production of armaments."
"We may have to, but we will not do it until we are convinced that nothing else will serve o purpose, Mr. Chamberlain declared.
"You cannot find a more inopportune moment than the present to institute an investigation, which must distract the attention and occupy the minds of those not only engaged in administration, but on production.
"Let us put our efforts together to get on with the job," he added, "and supply this country with the air force it requires in the shortest possible time."
