16. Captain FABER

asked how many aeroplanes there are at present attached to the Army in India?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

The number of aeroplanes at present in possession of the Army in India is three.

Mr. KING

Are Indians being trained as aeroplane pilots, or are the pilots exclusively European?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

As far as I am aware, they are exclusively European.

Sir G. SCOTT ROBERTSON

Has there been any extension of the flying station at Sitapur, as promised?

Mr. C. ROBERTS

I cannot answer that without notice.

Mr. KING

If Indians make application for training as pilots will they be allowed?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member should give notice of that question.
