§ 43. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for Air how many hours flying were done by units of the Royal Air Force during last year; how many hours during the previous year; and whether he can give corresponding figures for the Home Defence Force only?
§ Sir S. HOAREIt would not be in the public interest to disclose the actual number of hours flown in the Royal Air Force, but I may say that the number of hours flown in 1925 by all units was materially larger than the corresponding figure for 1924, whilst those flown by Home Defence Units show a still greater increase.
