asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air when the Air Ministry are likely to be able to make an announcement on any change of procedure of the conditions governing the grant of certificates of airworthiness for civil aircraft?

A committee has recently been set up to inquire into certain difficulties experienced by British aircraft constructors in connection with the certification of aircraft for airworthiness, but my Noble Friend is not in a position to give a date for the production of a report by the committee.

If I put this question down in a week's time, will the hon. Gentleman be able to answer then?

indicated assent.
