HC Deb 06 February 1940 vol 357 c54W
Captain Plugge

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the dispatch of additional British aeroplanes to Finland, especially in view of public sympathy with such a policy?

Mr. Butler

The urgency of releasing further aircraft for Finland is fully realised by His Majesty's Government, but as the Prime Minister informed the House on 16th January, it would not be in the public interest to make any further statement at present.
