§ Miss WILKINSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether it is still intended that one of the features of the Hendon air display is to be a squadron of Royal Air Force machines bombing a number of coloured people or men dressed to represent such?
§ Sir P. SASSOONOne item of the air display will depict an attack by aircraft on a band of marauders who have been engaged in murder, looting and other outrages. The airmen who will represent them will be dressed in native costumes of a generalised type, but I do not think that the presentation of an imaginary scene of this kind will be misunderstood by public opinion in this country or elsewhere.
§ Mr. THORNEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that the Foreign Office recently suggested to a British film company that it should delete scenes in the film Rhodes of Africa depicting the shooting down of natives by machine-gun fire as a purely defensive measure, he will consider making similar representations in regard to the proposed feature in the Royal Air Force display at Hendon which is to show the bombing of an undefended native village by aircraft?
