GLVK on March 2 asked the Secretary of State for Air (1) how many reserve pilots in all are available for service as trained naval and military pilots respectively in case of emergency, how many naval and military officers on the regular establishment of those two services are trained pilots able to fly at the present time ; and how far have the pilots recently trained by the Air Ministry been able to satisfy the requirements of the Navy and Army when attached for duty ? (2) How many fully trained pilots are available for service with the Army and the Navy, respectively; whether the proportion of trained pilots for artillery work, both naval and military, is adequate to the demand, irre spective of trained executive officers of the Navy and Army being lent for the purpose ; and whether the Board of Admiralty and the General Staff have expressed their entire satisfaction with the facilities offered by the Air Ministry ? Capt. Guest: All of the 1,862 ^qualified flying officers now serving in the General Duties Branch of the Royal Air Force are available for service either with the Navy or Army, or independently. The majority have had experience of working with one or both of the two other Services, but they are not allo cated in distinct classes to Navy co-operation and Army co-operation work, nor to artillery work, as a subdivision of either class, the policy of the Air Council being to give all officers tne widest possible training and experience. The importance of having a nucleus of officers with highly specialised qualifi cations for this kind of work is, however, fully recognised, and two schools, one for Army and one for Naval co-operation, exist for the purpose. Reserve pilots for an emergency will be found, in due course, from the present short <$> • Mountain Reconnaissance by Air AN officer of the Geodetic Mission in Syria has carried out recently an aeroplane reconnaissance of the zone which he is engaged in surveying. The object of the experiment was to prove whether it was possible by flying over a region, service commission officers who pass to the reserve. I have no information as to the number of trained pilots who are still on the active list of the Navy and Army, to which they returned after service with the Royal Air Force in the War. The allocation of air forces for co-operation duties with the Navy and Army is agreed annually between the Air Council and the Board of Admiralty and Army Council when the annual Estimates of the Air Ministry are under consideration. Though the Navy and the Army are satisfied with the qualifications of the pilots when trained, I fear that, in these days of sjtrict economy, it is hardly in the power of any Government Department, for the moment, entirely to satisfy the demands made upon it, whether from within or from without. British Aircraft for Russia MR. RAPER, on March 4, asked the Secretary of State for Air what is the total quantity of aeroplanes and the number of each type which have been bought for delivery from this country on behalf of the Russian Soviet Govern ment since the signing of the economic Agreement; and whether any guarantees have been asked for and/or given regarding the uses to which these machines will be put ? Captain Guest : There is no obligation on firms to obtain permission before exporting to Russia aircraft unarmed and not fitted to take armament. But if the aircraft to which my hon. friend refers are armed or fitted to take armament, an export licence will be required, and this would only be granted by the Board of Trade after reference to the Foreign Office. Particulars of any such export licences already granted could be obtained from the Board of Trade. <$> <$> such as the anti-Lebanon Mountains, to get an exact idea of the differences in height of the summits and consequently to be able to select the points to be used as a basis for triangulation. The experiment proved very satisfactory and several weeks' time was saved. 153
