Mr. AMMON

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that. prior to 1924 defensive gas instruction, including the use of box respirators, was stopped in the Air Force; whether such instruction was then resumed, and whether such is now given?

Sir S. HOARE

The policy of the Air Ministry in regard to defensive gas instruction is similar to that of the Army, as explained by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War in his reply to the hon. Member on 26th July.
