HC Deb 02 March 1927 vol 203 c370
42. Mr. GRIFFITHS

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether there is any balance due to the Palestine Government in respect of works that they executed on behalf of the Air Force; and what was the nature of these works?

Sir S. HOARE

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the last part, the works were ordinary engineering services, such as construction and maintenance of buildings, required for the Royal Air Force pending the establishment by the Air Ministry in July, 1924, of its own works organisation in Palestine.
