HC Deb 12 March 1923 vol 161 cc1031-2
46. Captain BENN

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now give the terms of reference of the Committee which is inquiring into the co-operation and co-relation of the three services; and whether the Committee will publish a Report?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer which I gave on Thursday last to a question by my Noble Friend the Member for Battersea South, and the supplementary questions arising there-from.

Captain BENN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say on what authority the Admiralty is retaining men for an Air Service which it. has no authority from this House to retain?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot answer that question without notice.
