§ Sir J. POWERasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can arrange to publish a Return, similar to the Fleets Return published by the Admiralty, showing the active and reserve strength of the air forces of the principal countries, together with information as to the equipment of such forces?
§ Sir S. HOAREI am afraid that there are insufficient official sources from which such a Return of foreign air forces and their equipment could be compiled; reserve strengths are, in any case, not disclosed. The available statistics are published in the Armaments Year Books issued annually by the League of Nations.
