§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for Air if his attention has been called to the experiments that have recently taken place in Germany with what is known in that country as flying trains, consisting of a power-driven aeroplane to which a glider is attached; and whether it is proposed to carry out any such experiments in this country?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe experiments referred to have been considered in the light of details given in the Press, but beyond demonstrating the principle they have, I think, no practical application to which I should be justified in allocating research funds. The progress of such experiments will, however, be watched.
