§ Mr. GROVESasked the Secretary of State for Air the terms of contract, general working hours, and rate of pay daily of the sandwich-board men engaged to advertise the recent air display?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe engagement of sandwich-board men to advertise the recent air display is a question for the Royal Air Force Display Committee, an unofficial body, and not for the; Air Ministry, inasmuch as the cost of this and similar expenditure incurred in connection with the display is met from nonpublic funds and is not a charge against Air Votes. I have accordingly no official information as regards the terms of contract, general working hours, and other matters raised in this question.
