HC Deb 30 April 1913 vol 52 c1160
27. Mr. BURGOYNE

asked what steps are being taken in regard to the offer of Messrs. Cain, of Liverpool, of two fully equipped aeroplanes; whether he is prepared to countenance the formation of a Volunteer Flying Corps; and if he will consider the possibility of asking the donors above mentioned to apply the gift to the furtherance of aviation in some other direction in the event of the present offer being unacceptable?

Colonel SEELY

This matter is now under consideration, and a reply will be sent in a few days, a copy of which I will send to the hon. Gentleman. The reply to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
