37. Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewingasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how the performance of the Hunter aircraft compares with the performance of Soviet bombers in operational service or likely to be in operational service shortly.
Mr. WardI am confident that the all-round performance of the Hunter and its very heavy armament make it capable of dealing with all types of bombers which might be available for attacks against this country in the next few years.
