HC Deb 12 March 1936 vol 309 c2332W
Captain GRAHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the weight of the largest bomb ever dropped on a British target-ship; how this compares with that of bombs dropped during American tests; and what explosive was used in the British tests?

Sir P. SASSOON

I am sure my hon. Friend will appreciate that it would not be in the public interest to supply this information.

Captain GRAHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether any British air-bombing tests have been carried out against merchant ships in order to determine their resistance to this form of attack?

Sir P. SASSOON

The answer is in the negative.
