§ Mr. BROOKESasked the Under-secretary of State for War if he can make a statement on the effect of the pursuit of the raiders in the recent air attack on London; and whether an adequate number of aeroplanes exist in this country for the purpose of defence?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONOne pilot reports that he attacked and drove down an enemy machine while over the sea The machine was out of control, but the clouds below prevented our pilot from seeing whether the machine fell into the sea or not. There is no corroborative evidence. As to the second part of the question, I am afraid that I can add nothing to the statement made on this subject on the Adjournment on Thursday last.
