§ 27. Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give information as to any British entrants who will represent Great Britain in the Schneider Cup Race at Vienna in September; if any official tests have been undertaken by the Royal Air Force for the super-marine Napier and Gloster seaplanes; and, if so, with what success?
§ Sir P. SASSOONAs regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Central Hull on 30th March. As regards the remaining parts of the question, the new types of aircraft have not yet been tested, but in any case it would not be in the public interest to announce the results of the tests.
§ Colonel DAYCan the hon. Baronet say whether tests are proceeding with this type of aeroplane?
§ Sir P. SASSOONYes.
