Former MP for Taunton
21. asked the Postmaster-General whether he can submit an estimate of the amount of inland mail he could advantageously send by night air-services were they in operation within the United Kingdom; and whether he can give an outline of the air routes which would be so used?
24. asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether any committee has been entrusted with the duty of preparing a comprehensive scheme, including the ground organisa tion of aerodromes, for the development of internal airways; and, if so, when its report may be expected?
Is the hon. Member aware that municipalities have postponed establishing municipal aerodromes pending an authorised scheme, and that further delay in this respect will retard the development of civil airways?
56. asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the question of road restriction signs being so designed as to give the de-restricting indication on the reverse thereof; what saving of public funds would accrue by the adoption of such a sign; and whether he will give consideration to this proposal?
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that in the opinion of many motorists the present sign is too inconspicuous and will he consider erecting a sign which can be more easily seen?
23. asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the serious inroads now being made upon the capital resources of the nation by death duties and the incidence of surtax for the purposes of current expenditure, he can give an estimate of the new capital accumulating annually by which this loss is offset?
19. asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the large numbers of foreigners who have obtained employment in England in recent years as domestic servants; whether he can give the numbers of such for the years 1932, 1933 and 1934, and the conditions governing the entrance of such labour?
Would not the tightening up of the restrictions mean that a greater number of our people would be employed in this work?
