47. Sir F. HALL

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government have any information as to the arrangements adopted in America, France, Italy, Japan, and Germany to secure co-operation between the Army, the Navy, and the Air Services, with the object of ensuring the maximum of efficiency and economy; and whether he will arrange for a Report embodying any information on the subject that is available to be prepared and circulated for the assistance of Members well in advance of the issue of next year's Estimates for the three Services?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The Prime Minister will consider my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion.

Commander BELLAIRS

Would the right hon. Gentleman represent to the Prime Minister that it would be better for us to have the information before the Debate on the Ministry of Defence which has been promised the House?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

Yes, I will represent that to the Prime Minister.
