14. Mr. McNeilasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the two Nazi prisoners of war who attempted to make their escape in a British Services aeroplane?
§ 16. Mr. Ammonasked the Secretary of State for Air how it was possible for two German airmen, who escaped from a North of England prison camp, to obtain possession of a Royal Air Force aeroplane as a means of escape from this country; how did they gain access to the aerodrome; and is it customary to leave, in time of war, aeroplanes unguarded?
§ Captain BalfourThe incident is still under investigation. If the hon. Members will repeat their Questions in a fortnight's time, I hope by then to be in a position to make a statement.
Dr. Russell ThomasDoes it not seem that British aerodromes are still not properly protected, in spite of representations constantly made to the Government by the House?
§ Captain BalfourIf the hon. Member will wait and see, in a fortnight's time he will probably get an answer.
