LORD GIFFORDMy Lords, I beg leave to ask a Question of Her Majesty's Government of which I have given private notice—namely, whether they have any further statement to make about the participation of the Royal Air Force in the London to Christchurch Air Race which will take place in October, 1953.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR AIR (LORD DE L'ISLE AND DUDLEY)My Lords, I am glad to have this oppor- 1044 tunity of announcing that the Royal Air Force intends to enter a Valiant bomber and one or more Canberras. I am sure your Lordships will join with me in wishing success to these entries and, if it is not inconsistent to do so, to all other competitors who enter for the race.
