§ 43. Viscount CURZONasked the Secretary of State for Air whether any lighter-than-air aircraft have been or are being used to assist military and police operations in Ireland; and, if not, before such aircraft are scrapped or otherwise disposed of, could they be employed to assist in such operations and for the detection of hostile operations by rebel forces?
The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Captain Guest)Lighter-than-air craft have not been and are not being used for 210 operations in Ireland. The possibility of their employment was carefully considered and was decided against for good and sufficient reasons.
