HC Deb 03 April 1917 vol 92 c1101
32. Mr. BILLING

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the authorities are satisfied with the results obtained at the trial of the new rigid airship which has been constructed for the Royal Naval Air Service?

Dr. MACNAMARA

It is not considered desirable in the public interest to give any information respecting rigid airships in this country.

Mr. BILLING

May I ask if the right hon. Gentleman will give serious consideration to the advisability of the cessation of the wasting of public money on these experiments, which cannot be productive in this War?
