§ 35. Mr. P. B. Lucasasked the Secretary of State for Air how many Soviet-built YAK-25 fighters have been identified over Korea; and whether he is yet in a position to make a comparison between the performance of this aircraft and the MIG-l5.
§ Mr. A. HendersonThe answer to the first part of the Question is "None." It would not be in the public interest to answer the second part.
§ Mr. LucasIs the Minister aware that there is growing concern about the development of Russian jet fighter and bomber aircraft, and will he take an early opportunity of making a full statement on the subject'?
§ Mr. HendersonAll I can say is that Russia is not the only country developing the most advanced types of aircraft.
