HC Deb 30 June 1952 vol 503 c5
9. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Minister of Supply how many jet aircraft, produced under the order of his Department, have been sent to Syria.

Mr. Sandys

None, Sir.

Mr. Shinwell

In view of the fact that a statement appeared in a reputable Scottish paper, "The Scotsman," recently, to the effect that some jet aircraft had been sent to Syria, will the right hon. Gentleman make further inquiries?

Mr. Sandys

I have no need to make further inquiries, but the question of the right hon. Gentleman will correct any misstatements which may have been made.
