§ 10. Mr. Messerasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has yet received any information from India concerning Aircraftsman Bernard Wellsbury?
§ Captain BalfourNo, Sir, but I will inform the hon. Member as soon as I receive an answer to my inquiries from India.
§ Mr. MesserIs the Under-Secretary aware that this case has been hanging over for two months? It does not take two months to get a cable to India.
§ Captain BalfourWe have twice signalled India, but I am sure my hon. Friend will appreciate that pressure on the lines is very heavy in respect of priority military requirements; but we have sent a hastener to India.
