asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he proposes to take any action as a result of the report of the Committee on the Control of Flying?
Yes, Sir. I am glad to announce that His Majesty's Government are largely in agreement with the recommendations of the Committee and with the principles underlying them. A White Paper setting out the Government's decision on each of the recommendations is being published this evening. Where a recommendation can be put into effect by administrative action or by the amendment of regulations, this is, being done forthwith. I should like to take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to Lord Gorell and his colleagues for their most valuable report.
Will my right hon. Friend be able by the power of regulation to control aerial advertising.
