HC Deb 27 June 1917 vol 95 cc364-5
19. Mr. BILLING

asked whether he has received any complaint, official or otherwise, regarding the type of machine supplied to the air pilots on service with the British troops in Mesopotamia?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the AIR BOARD (Major Baird)

I am not aware of the receipt of any communication on this matter which could with correctness be described as a complaint. The Commander-in-Chief in Mesopotamia has stated that he would like certain additions to the aeronautical equipment of his forces and his wishes in this respect are being met.

Mr. BILLING

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the Germans have discovered ourruse de guerreand know that we are making it a dumping ground for the worst of our machines and they are making arrangements accordingly?

Colonel CLAUDE LOWTHER

Will the Government give a day for the discussion of the Mesopotamia scandal?
