44. Viscount CURZONasked the Prime Minister whether the Committee to inquire into certain matters relating to the relations between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy, presided over by the Minister of Education, have as yet held any meetings, and when a Report may be expected; and if the Report will be published?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo formal meeting of the Committee has yet been held, but some progress has been made by preliminary exchange of views. I am unable to say when the Committee will conclude its labours. A Report will be rendered to the Committee of Imperial Defence, of which this is a Sub-Committee. It is unusual to publish reports of Sub-Committees of the Committee of Imperial Defence.
47. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Prime Minister how long the special Sub-Committee of the Committee of Imperial Defence, which was formed to consider the problem of air defence and development, has been in existence?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe Sub-Committee was appointed on the 31st October last. It has already reported, and its Report is to be considered by the main Committee very shortly.
