29. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what were the circumstances in which smoke bombs were dropped from an aeroplane on the farm of Mr. Walter Duggleby, near Driffield, in the East Riding, on the 6th June last?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Mr. Montague)

I regret the incident to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers. It is under investigation by a court of inquiry, and I am therefore not as yet in a position to make any statement regarding it.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Will my hon. Friend let me know when he will be able to make a statement?

Mr. MONTAGUE

indicated assent.
