§ Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give an estimate to the nearest 100,000 of civilians killed in Germany as a result of raids by Bomber Command or to the nearest 1564W 1,000,000 of the number of persons rendered homeless, in view of the claim by his Department that of the towns so raided some have been rendered completely uninhabitable and others reduced to 25 per cent. of their normal capacity?
§ Captain BalfourI regret that I cannot give a reliable estimate of the number of persons killed or rendered homeless as a result of Bomber Command's attacks on German targets.
