§ Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether he is informed as to the estimated strength of the German air force and as to the estimated monthly production of planes in that country; whether we are supposed to be producing more or less than Germany; and, if less, when does he anticipate that we shall reach parity if German production remains constant?
