§ 19. Sir Oliver Simmondsasked the Secretary of State for Air the number of enemy aircraft engaged in launching flying bombs against this country which have been shot down; and the number of flying bombs which they are estimated to have launched.
§ Sir A. SinclairI regret that it would not be in the public interest to give this information.
§ Sir O. SimmondsIn view of the fact that from day to day these figures are announced, what possible objection can there be to giving the cumulative results so far obtained?
§ Sir A. SinclairMy hon. Friend may not have observed that these figures are not being announced now from day to day. If these figures were given, the information would, I am definitely of the opinion, give help to the enemy.
