30. Captain BALFOURasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he will state the types of civil aircraft ordered by the Air Ministry for their own development or utility purposes during the present year; if further types are still to be acquired; and, if so, will he give particulars of these?
§ Sir P. SASSOONTwo civil aircraft of experimental type—a four-seater gyroplane and a high-speed float-plane—have been ordered by the Air Ministry during the present year. I regret that at present I can give no information as to the ordering of any further types.
