§ Sir K. WoodI regret that it would not be in the public interest to give the information desired but as the hon. and learned Member will be aware, the total of Vote A stood at 118,000 in the Air Estimates for the current year and has been increased to 150,000 in the Supplementary Estimate recently approved.
