§ 37. Mr. HARDIEasked the Secretary of State for Air if the Airship Guarantee Company have asked for an extension of their contract prices; and, if so, is it proposed to grant one?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the second part does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. J. H. THOMASSince the right hon. Gentleman has said that this was a legacy from a previous Government, is it not true that the minutes prove that the previous Government, namely the Labour Government, rejected the original airship scheme, as submitted by their predecessors?
§ Commander BELLAIRSDoes this matter arise out of the present question?
§ Sir S. HOAREIn answer to the right hon. Gentleman I would point out that the hon. Member behind him asked me a question about this programme, and I was not dealing with anything else.
