DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for Air whether a Commission has been despatched to Bulgaria for the purpose of destroying aeroplanes; if so, what is the constitution and cost of the Commission; what is the number of aeroplanes to be destroyed; and whether this task could have been undertaken by other British personnel already in the neighbourhood?

The British Section consists of three officers and six other ranks. The cost of the Commission will be borne by Bulgaria. The number of aeroplanes and seaplanes to be destroyed is 57.
