§ 36. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Secretary of State for India what is the total personnel of the Air Force in India, and if any estimate has been formed as to what additions would be required to the other forces if the Air Force were abolished?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Butler)The total establishment of officers and other ranks on the 1st April last was 2,287. The answer to the last part is that no such estimate has been formed.

§ Mr. BUTLERWe will bear my hon. Friend's suggestion in mind.
