§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Undersecretary of (State to the Air Ministry 1245W what proportion the fatal casualties in flying in his country bore to those at the front for the year 1917 and for the first five months of this year?
Major BAIBDThe proportionate figures asked for in this question would be entirely misleading in the absence of a, comparative statement as to the number of pilots under instruction, standards of training, and number of hours flown. Considerations of public interest do not allow this information to be made public.
