§ 18. Mr. BILLINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether there is complete co-operation between the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps for the protection of our coasts and of this country from aerial invasion; from whom do the respective Services receive orders to engage the enemy; and at exactly what point do the Royal Naval Air Service hand over their quarry to the Royal Flying Corps and vice versa?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the AIR BOARD (Major Baird)I am sending the hon. Member a copy of an answer which I gave on 7th August, 1916, to a question on this subject put by the hon. Member for Bethnal Green. I regret that I have nothing to add to the information therein contained.
§ Mr. BILLINGWhen orders are given in the event of a raid alarm are they given simultaneously to both Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Flying Corps'! Is one officer responsible for the issuing of these orders and are they issued to either corps without being issued to both?
§ Major BAIRDI must ask for notice.
