HC Deb 29 July 1919 vol 118 c1956W
Lieut.-Colonel MOORE BRABAZON

asked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry how many German rigid airships will be allotted to this country under the terms of Peace; and whether the Air Ministry or the Admiralty will take the same over?

Major-General SEELY

Under the Peace terms all German airships are to be handed over to the Allies, but the exact number to be allotted to this country has not yet been decided. The airships will be taken over in Germany by the Royal Air Force Section of the Inter-Allied Aeronautical Commission of Control; and their allotment as between the Admiralty and the Air Ministry will be determined by the decision made on the general question of responsibility for airships.
