HC Deb 14 August 1913 vol 56 cc2676-7W
Mr. HUNT

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether two aeroplanes have been lately ordered by the War Office of a new design ensuring greater safety; was this design offered to the War Office by Lieutenant Dunne, a former officer of the British Army, and refused; and will he say whether the patent has now been secured by a French company?

Mr. HAROLD BAKER

Two "Dunne" aeroplanes were ordered in March of this year and are now three months overdue in delivery. As regards the last part of the question no official information is available.
