HC Deb 24 January 1929 vol 224 c341
68. Rear-Admiral SUETER

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give the number of air squadrons now kept in India; and whether any additional squadrons have been sent to India during the current financial year?

Earl WINTERTON

I have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the question is eight, and to the second part two, which are included in the eight. This increase was finally decided upon in May, 1927, and the decision was announced in India in January, 1928.

Mr. MALONE

Can the Minister give us any particulars of the terrible bombing fatality that took place in India?

Earl WINTERTON

That has nothing to do with this question. I should have to have a specific question put to me upon that point.
