HC Deb 05 March 1930 vol 236 c429
55. Mr. GRANVILLE

asked the Under- Secretary of State for Air whether the members of the recent successful Schneider Cup team are being retained on high-speed flying or are being transferred back to their original or other units?

Mr. MONTAGUE

All the officers of the team have been transferred to other duties.

56. Mr. GRANVILLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what promotions have been granted to the members of the recent Schneider Cup team?

Mr. MONTAGUE

I deprecate dealing with individual officers' promotions by way of question and answer in the House. I suggest that the hon. Member should obtain the information which he seeks from the Air Force List.

Captain HAROLD BALFOUR

Is it not the case that this high-speed flying comes within the normal duties of ordinary Air Force pilots?

Mr. MONTAGUE indicated assent
