19. Sir F. SYKES

asked the Secretary of State for Air if arrangements have yet been completed for the manufacture in the United Kingdom of any of the parachutes ordered in America; and, if so, what proportion of the total under order will be so manufactured?

Sir S. HOARE

Under the contract for the supply of parachutes, about one-third of the initial order and all future supplies are to be manufactured in this country. It is anticipated that delivery from this source will commence by July next.
