REND ALL, in the House of Commons, on June 21, asked theParliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether the depat of the Royal Air Force at Yate, Gloucestershire, has been sold by theDisposal Board to two local firms ; whether a considerable time has elapsed since this agreement was come to, but the Board has failed as yet to transferthe property; why there has been this delay; and is he aware that the serious condition of unemployment in Bristol makes the immediate transfer of theproperty urgent ? Mr. Hope : Arrangements have been made for the • le of two portions ofthe Aircraft Repair Dep6t at Yate, Gloucestershire, t o two separate firms, and both transactions are in course of completion, M lich will be expeditedas much as possible. In both cases some of the lar <) had not been actually acquired by the Government, and I regret that somr delay has been causedthereby. Air Service, Kleff and Warsaw. CAPT. W. BENN on June 23 asked the Seeretai >' of State for Air whetherthere is a British air service between Kieff and Warsaw ; when the first flight was made ; and whether the British machines are armed ? Mr. Churchill: There is no British air service between Kieff and "WarsawThe second and third parts of the question, therefore, do not arise. Surrender of German War Planes COL. CLAUDE LOWTHER on July 1 asked the Prime Minister whether thestipulated number of war planes have been surrendered by Germanv to the Allies ; how many of these have been destroyed before delivery ; and whetherit would serve the Allied cause best if many of these war planes were to be sent to some Allied zone from which they could be used for purposes ofoffence against belligerents with whom we have declared war since the Armistice ? Mr. Bonar Law: In accordance with the provisions of the Peace Treatvall aeronautical material used or designed for warlike purposes is to be surrendered to the Allies. Up to June 19, i920, nineteen seaplanes hadbeen handed over to the Allies and 2,846 aeroplanes had been destroyed under Allied supervision. Owing to the disadvantage of increasin* thavariety of types employed and the difficulty of providing for the supply of spares, I am afraid the suggestion contained in the third part of the Questions not practicable. v wuesuun Disabled Airmen's Pensions AN order by H.M. the King dealing with the pensions ofairmen disabled, and of the families and dependents of airmen deceased in the Great War, has just been issuedby the Air Ministry.
