HC Deb 21 May 1910 vol 116 c394
100. Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Under secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether he will offer to the Overseas Dominions and Colonies some of the surplus aeroplanes now in the possession of the Air Ministry with a view to their being used for postal and similar services?

Mr. PRATT

My hon. and gallant Friend has asked me to reply. The question of the form in which assistance can be rendered to British Possessions over seas for the purposes referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend is under consideration and I hope to be able to announce a decision very shortly.

Colonel ASHLEY

Is the hon. Gentle man aware that the Dominions would appreciate not only the gift, but the spirit in which it was offered?

Mr. PRATT

Yes, Sir.
