§ 15. Mr. MANDERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if, in connection with this year's Royal Air Force display at Hendon, with a view to educating the civilian population in the realities of aerial warfare, he will arrange for the bombing of a specially-constructed building representing a densely populated area inhabited by dummy women and children?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)The answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. MANDERApart from the spectacular and dramatic side, does not the right hon. Gentleman think that the general public ought to have some opportunity of seeing the horror and brutality of aerial warfare?
§ Sir P. SASSOONThis is part of the training of the Royal Air Force. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman would like to volunteer to carry out part of the duties.
§ Mr. MANDERIs it not the fact that part of the training of air forces all over the world is to carry out work of that kind?
§ Mr. HERBERT WILLIAMSWere not protests made some time ago by peace-loving people when an imitation village was bombed at Hendon?
