§ 6. Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the Anti-Aircraft (London) Corps has now passed under the control of the War Office; and whether the discipline of the corps is under the Naval Discipline Act or the Army Acts?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I presume that the corps has been under the Naval Discipline Act, but this part of the question is for the Admiralty.
§ Sir G. SCOTT ROBERTSONWho will answer these questions relating to the Anti-Aircraft Corps in future?
§ Mr. TENNANTWhen the transfer is complete, no doubt it will be my duty to answer, but the transfer is not complete.
§ 7. Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will give the name of the officer in command of the Anti- Aircraft Defences of London?
§ Mr. TENNANTI presume my hon. Friend refers to the gunnery portion of the Anti-Aircraft Defences of London. These are still under the Admiralty, and presumably Admiral Sir Percy Scott is still in charge.
§ 26. Mr. KINGasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether Sir Percy Scott is still serving under the Admiralty; and whether he has duties in connection with the Anti-Aircraft Defence of London?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)I would remind my hon. Friend of the answer which I gave him to a similar question on Wednesday last.
