§ 22. Rear-Admiral SUETERasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider making provision in the next Naval Estimates to replace M 2 by two submarines of smaller displacement specially designed to carry and discharge a high-speed seaplane, so as to provide a continuity of aircraft experiments from submarines in case of a mishap to one of these vessels?
The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Sir Bolton Eyres Monsell)No decision has yet been reached as to what, if any, steps will be taken to continue the experiments with aircraft in submarines. Time would in any case not admit of including provision in the Estimates for 1932.
