HC Deb 08 December 1937 vol 330 c409W
Mr. Wells

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what is the average cost of a balloon used at Cardington; and whether any compensation has been claimed or paid for damage done by balloons that have broken away?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

My hon. Friend will appreciate it would be contrary to precedent and not in the public interest to give the information asked for in the first part of the question; as regards the second part claims amounting to £9 have been paid up to the present time.
