HC Deb 21 June 1921 vol 143 c1091
74. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the date for the disposal of the rigid airships has been postponed; what additional expenditure this will entail; and what is the reason for this alteration of policy?

The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Captain Guest)

No, Sir, the date 1st August still stands.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Was it not decided last year that these airships should be disposed of before this? When was the decision taken to wait till August?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise here.

Sir W. DAVISON

Will the right hon. Gentleman say when the surplus gasbags in the House of Commons will be disposed of?
