Motion made, and Question put, That an additional number of Air Forces, not exceeding 5,000 all ranks, be maintained for the Service of the United Kingdom at Home and abroad, exclusive of those serving in India (other than Aden), during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1937, beyond the number already provided in the Air Estimates for the year.

The Committee proceeded to a Division—

Captain F. E. GUEST

(seated and covered): On a point of Order. May I ask, Captain Bourne, whether you are putting the main Vote for the Air Services of £11,700,000 or merely a portion of it?

The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN

I am putting neither of those, but Vote A.

The Committee divided: Ayes, 298; Noes, 109.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That a Supplementary sum, not exceeding £11,700,000, be granted to His Majesty, to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1937, for expenditure not provided for in the Air Estimates for the year.

Captain GUEST

You, Captain Bourne, and the Members of the House of Commons who have known me for a very long time will know that I am not going to keep hon. Members from catching their trains, but I do wish, in the space of two minutes, to bring to the attention of the Committee the importance of this immense Vote we are passing to-night. I know that you, Captain Bourne, would prefer me to raise the point in the form of a question, but it is a little difficult to do so now. It is important to draw attention to the fact that the Air Vote which I introduced to the House in 1922 was £8,000,000 less than the Supplementary Estimate we are asked to pass to-night. I wish to draw the attention of the Committee—and if I can the outside world—to the fact that this is a fundamental insurance of Britain and Britain's homes

Mr. PERKINS

I wish to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the extra £74,000 which I see is to be voted under the heading of "Balloons and Hangars" is to provide London with a balloon apron?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)

The sum of £74,000 is for various experimental services the exact nature of which it would not be in the public interest to disclose.

Question put.
