HC Deb 24 May 1939 vol 347 c2322W
Mr. Leonard

asked the Secretary of State for Air how much of the estimated £763,000 required in 1939 for experimental and research establishments is to be spent on the search for new defence weapons, as against improving existing methods and weapons?

Sir K. Wood

I regret that it is not possible to sub-divide as suggested the sub-head of Air Vote 3 to which the hon. Member refers. He may rest assured, however, that the development of new equipment is in the forefront of the programme.
