§ 18. Squadron-Leader Hulbertasked the Secretary of State for Air how many flights by Royal Air Force bomber squadrons have been made over French territory up to date; and whether similar flights over other friendly countries are contemplated?
§ Sir K. WoodThree flights have taken place to date. In regard to the second part of the question, as I informed the hon. and learned Gentleman the Member for Kingswinford (Mr. A. Henderson) on Wednesday last, it is hoped that other practice flights will be possible, but I am not at present in a position to give any details.
§ 20. Squadron-Leader Hulbertasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can make any statement in regard to flights over this country by squadrons of French aircraft; and whether similar facilities will be extended to the air forces of other friendly nations?
§ Sir K. WoodI understand that this matter is now under consideration by the French Government. I am prepared to consider any requests for similar facilities that may be made.
