HC Deb 08 March 1927 vol 203 cc1042-3
68. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Air how far refuelling experiments when flying have been successful; where they have been carried out; and if it is intended to build a series of planes equipped with spare tanks for that purpose?

Viscount CURZON

I have been asked to reply. As regards the first two parts of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for Southwark, Central, on 16th February. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Viscount CURZON

I must ask for notice of that question.
