§ 31. Mr. Hammersleyasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied that adequate measures have been taken for the defence of the industrial Midlands against the possibility of any troops landing in substantial numbers from troop-carrying aeroplanes?
§ Mr. EdenIt would not be desirable to make any public statement about details of our defence schemes. My hon. Friend will, I hope, accept my assurance that we have taken all protective measures that are practicable.
§ Mr. CocksIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in certain areas, which I will not specify, there are still many fields not protected?
§ Mr. EdenThis is a difficult cross-examination, for if my hon. Friend cannot specify them, I cannot recognise them.
