§ 23. Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of Sate for Air if he is able to state the results of the tests of the Royal Air Force long-distance flying boats in the round flight to Egypt and Cyprus?
§ Captain Viscount CURZON (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. The result of the flight referred to by the hon. Member was the acquisition of some very valuable information bearing upon the flying design and maintenance of flying boats on long-distance cruises. My right hon. Friend is sending the hon. Member a copy of an Air Ministry communiqué upon this subject, which perhaps he has not seen.
§ Colonel DAYWill the Noble Lord say if a full service load was carried on this flight?
§ Viscount CURZONI am afraid that I cannot answer a technical question of that kind, but I will call the attention of my right hon. Friend to it.
