Mr. Ainery : I am afraid that, owing to the expense involved, the printing of this Report on the results of the United States bombing and gunfire expert ments with ex-German ships would not be justified, especially as it was published in the American Press last autumn. I shall, however, be happy to supply typed copies to any hou. members who may be interested. Viscount Curzon : Is the hon. gentleman aware that this Report, not only- deals with the bombing of ex-German ships, but also gives very valuable con clusions arrived at by the Committee set up by the United States Government ? Mr. Amery : It is a very interesting Report, and I shall be very happy to send any hon. member who likes to write to me, a typed copy. Commander Bellairs : Would it not be better to send a typed copy to the Library of the House of Commons ? Mr. Amery : Certainly. • <3> New Director of Civil Aviation THE Air Ministry" announces that Maj.-Gen. Sir W. S. Brancker, K.C.B., A.F.C., has been appointed Director of Civil Aviation in the Air Ministry. Air Ministry Resignations WE learn that Wing-Commanders W. D. Beatty and W. 0. Raikes, two heads of departments in the Air Ministry, have tendered their resignations, Royal Air Force Contracts MR. R. YOUNG asked the Secretary of State for Air what percentage of contracts for the Air Ministry has been referred to the Technical Costs Branch during the period March, jg2i-March, 1922 ; and what was the saving effected and the total amount of the original quotations on which the savings were effected ? "Capt. Guest: Three classes of contracts are placed by the Air Ministry, namely, general stores, aeronautical stores, and works services, and by far the greater percentage of them are placed after open competition, which, of itself, affords a sufficient check on prices and makes costing unnecessary. As regards general stores, quotations, totalling £176,500, or 22 per cent, of the value of all the contracts for such stores placed, were referred for costing in the financial year 1921-22, and a saving of nearly £29,000, or 16 per cent, of the amount of the quotations, was effected. During the fi nancial year 1921 - 22, it has not been found necessary to refer quotations for aeronautical stores or works to the Costs Branch. The Destroyed Zeppelins As an aftermath of the destruction of the airships which should have been delivered to the Allied and Associated Powers, it is announced that the Ambassadors' Council have decided that Germany is to pay nine million gold marks (£450,000) by way of compensation. And a very cheap let-off, assuming she pays it. 289
