HC Deb 22 November 1916 vol 87 cc1390-1
58. Colonel LOCKWOOD

asked the hon. Member for Rugby, as the Parliamentary Representative of the Air Board, if, in view of officers of flying corps being-forbidden to accept public money for services rendered in the air, the Government will consider the question of allowing salvage money for bringing down airships, in the same way as salvage money is now awarded for sinking ships of the enemy at sea?

Major BAIRD

(representing the Air Board): I may refer my right hon. and gallant Friend to the reply given by the Prime Minister to a similar question on the 8th instant. The proposal contained in his question involves considerations of military discipline and administration, and it is receiving the careful attention of the Departments concerned. I am afraid that I cannot say more at present.
