§ 55. Sir Leonard Lyleasked the Prime Minister whether, to allay the still existing public uneasiness, he will appoint an independent committee of Members of Parliament with experts, a proportion to have had actual experience in this war, to investigate the effectiveness of the new scheme for the protection of aerodromes?
§ The Prime MinisterAs my right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal informed the House, the scheme which he recently 205 announced was the result of an inquiry in which experts with war experience assisted, and it was endorsed by the Chiefs of Staff of the three Services. I do not think that the appointment of a Committee such as is suggested by my hon. Friend is therefore necessary. I may add that when I come to make the statement on Business, I shall announce that there will be an opportunity for an early Debate on this matter which I hope will satisfy my hon. Friend.
