25. Captain BALFOURasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether a foreign air force, equipped with every type of modern aircraft and operating from a base 1,300 miles from London, will be treated as being within striking distance of our shores for the purpose of obtaining air parity?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI regret that I am, not in a position at this stage to add anything to the recent statements made on the subject of air parity on behalf of His Majesty's Government.
Captain BALFOURWould my right hon. Friend be so good as to answer the question on the Paper, which did not deal with the policy of His Majesty's Government, but asked whether an air force operating 1,300 miles away from London would come within the ambit of that policy?
§ Sir P. SASSOONI am afraid I cannot add anything to my answer.
§ Mr. HALL-CAINEDoes my right hon. Friend realise that Moscow is within 1,300 miles of London?
