HC Deb 13 December 1933 vol 284 cc352-3
24. Mr. LEVY (for Mr. HANNON)

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether his attention has been called to the design of certain German aeroplanes now used by the Luft Hansa Company in operating the service between Croydon and Berlin; and, seeing that such machines are rapidly convertible into air bombers, what steps he proposes to take to ensure that no violation of the Treaty of Versailles has occurred?

Sir P. SASSOON

I have no ground for believing that the aircraft to which my hon. Friend refers are equipped for other than commercial use, or that their design involves a violation of the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles.
