§ Sir THOMAS BRAMSDONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty has selected a number of officers to take part in theoretical and experimental aeronautic work; and whether he has made it known that no officers of the engineering branch will be chosen; and, if so, what explanation he has to offer for this decision?
§ Mr. McKENNATwo officers only have so far been selected to work the airships now under construction. No decision has 811W been made not to employ officers of the engineering branch; when the services of officers of this branch are required the necessary selections will be made.
