HC Deb 18 July 1922 vol 156 cc1906-7
60. Viscount CURZON

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the Air Ministry are satisfied with the torpedo supplied by the Admiralty; and, if not, what steps are being taken to obtain a satisfactory torpedo?

Captain GUEST

The answer to the first question is that the design and development of torpedoes for use from aeroplanes are carried out in close collaboration between the Air Ministry and the Admiralty, who are in complete agreement on the subject. The second question does not therefore arise.

Viscount CURZON

Does this explain the recent institution of an Air Force torpedo school within sight of the "Vernon"?

Captain GUEST

Perhaps my Noble Friend will put that question on the Paper.
