HC Deb 22 November 1928 vol 222 c1924
74. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Air what savings he anticipates in next year's Air Estimates as a result of the signing in Paris of the treaty for the renunciation of war, commonly known as the Kellogg Peace Pact?

The SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Samuel Hoare)

I am not prepared to make any statement in anticipation of next year's Air Estimates.

Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

Will the Air Council have tins question of the Kellogg Pact before them when they are making their calculations.

Sir S. HOARE

Yes, we shall certainly consider that question and any other relevant matters.

Mr. RENNIE SMITH

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether the idea expressed in his speech on Armistice Day in regard to the application of the principle of equity to all the air services of Europe can possibly lead to a reduction in the Air Estimates?

Sir S. HOARE

That certainly does not arise out of the question on the Paper, and I should like to have notice of it.
