HC Deb 10 March 1926 vol 192 cc2266-7
21. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have turned their attention to a necessity that may arise in the near future of constructing aircraft in the Royal Dockyards; and whether the technical officials of the Admiralty have examined the problems involved?

Mr. DAVIDSON

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative, but I understand that it is the present policy of the Air Ministry to rely upon the aircraft industry for construction.
