HC Deb 10 July 1934 vol 292 cc172-3
36. Mr. MANDER

asked the Prime Minister whether any supplementary Estimates for the Air Force will be presented to the House before the Adjournment; and whether any decision in principle has been taken as to an increase?

The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Baldwin)

Perhaps the hon. Member would be good enough to await the statement which will be made before the House rises.

Mr. MANDEB

Do I understand that a statement with reference to an increase in Air Estimates will be made before the House rises?

Mr. BALDWIN

I did not say that.

Mr. MANDER

Can my right hon. Friend say whether any preparations, such as the formation of squadrons, are being undertaken now in anticipation of Parliamentary approval?

Mr. BALDWIN

I have asked my hon. Friend to be good enough to await the statement. It will not be long.
