Airship policy for Great Britain outlined by MacDonald
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald stated in the House of Commons that Britain will limit airship activity to scientific research.

Mooring masts at St Hubert, Semakiya, Karachi will be retained with Canadian government assent, and helium substitution was deemed unnecessary for the limited R-100 program due to cost and hydrogen’s importance as a motor fuel.
