IN PARLIAMENT Air Parcel Post COLONEL DAY, on July 13, asked the Postmaster-General the number ofparcels sent by air post through the Post Office? of Great Britain, either express or non-express, to Paris and Holland for the 12 months ended to thelast convenient date Sir W. Mitchell-Thomson : For the 12 months ended (vine 30 lar-t, thenumbers were as follows : To Paris, 3,458 ; to Holland, I,9o3. Air Force ListCOLONEL WOODCOCK asked the Secretary of State for Air how many copies of the Air Force List are printed each month ; what is the annualcost of printing the same ; and what number are sold on an average each monthViscniut Curzon : I have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the question is approximately 2,000 copies ; to the second, £2,000 ; tothe third, 675 copies. Civil Aviation GaragesCOLONEL DAY, on July 14. asked the Secretary of State for Air the number of garages built for privately-owned aeroplanes ; and what steps are beingtaken in this regard by his D.;partm;Mit with a view to popularising privately- owned aeroplanes of the Moth variety '/Captain Lord Stanley (for Sir S. Hoard : As regards the first part of the question, so far as I am aware the only case of the kind referred to by the hon.and gallant member is.one in which a garage has been built to take six small folding aeroplanes. As regards the second part, 1 am not sure what the hon.and gallant member has in mind, but on the assumption that he is referring to facilities provided for the accommodation of privately-owned aeroplanes,the answer is that this class of aeroplane can be housed at Government civil aerodromes on payment of the usual scale of charges, which amount for theMoth type to 2s. tid. for a night's accommodation, with Is. landing fee or ',2 His. per month. Afghanistan Air ForceSIR F\ HALL asked the Secretary of State for Air what is the present strength of the Air Force of the Afghanistan Government in machine? andmen ; what is the increase compared with 1923; whether the training and development of this force is under native direction ; and, if not, what is thenationality of those principally responsible for advising the Afghanistan authorities in the matter ? Lord Stanley : As regards the first and second parts of the question, thepresent strength of the Afghan Air F"orce is understood to be approximately 12 machines and 36 men, nearly all the men being Russians. These machinesrepresent a net increase since 1923, when, although there were a few machines in Afghanistan, they were unairworthy, for which reason they are not includedinjthe figures for present strength given above. As regards the last part, the force ii commanded by an Afghan, but Russians are advising in regard to-training and development. Sir F. Hall : Is not this a menace to the peace of India ?Mr. Speaker : The Xoble Lord cannot be expected to answer that question.. " British Gazette " Distribution Cost.LIEUT.-COMMANDER KESWORTHY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the 16,000 allocated as the cost of producing the official organknown as the British Gazette includes the cost of its distribution by motor car and aeroplane ; and, if so, what sum has been allocated for payment of thistransport ? Mr. McXeill : Xo allowance is made in this estimate for the cost of the-aeroplane service which was regarded by the Air Ministry as taking the place - of experimental and practice flying and it was only practicable to earmark anexpenditure of £450 on motor car distribution as definitely on the service of the British Gazette. The bulk of the distribution was carried out byvolunteers rtceiving free petrol only. Communist PropagandaLIEIT.-COLONEL HENEAGE (for Major Tasker) asked the Secretary of State for Air whether his attention has been drawn to document 33 in the recent-Blue Book on Communist Papers, wherein it is stated that there are 11 known members of the Communist factory group employed in the Kidbrook AirForce Works : and what steps he has taken, or proposes to take, in the matter f Lord Stanley : The matter is under consideration. Hendon Display and Parliamentary Tea EnclosureCOLONEL DAY asked the Secretary of State for Air the approximate cost of the tea provided in the Parliamentary enclosure on the occasion of the-Royal Air Force display at Hendon : and to what fund will such expenses- l>e charged ? Sir S. Hoare : The answer to the first part of the question is approxi- mately £40 ; to the second, that the charge is one against the receipts oi the- display, public funds not being affected. Officers Employed at the Ministry MR. W. HIRST asked the Secretary of State for Air the number of flying:officers, flight lieutenants and squadron leaders employed on duties of a purely, clerical nature requiring no special qualifications, at the Air Ministry ; ifthey are in receipt of Royal Air Force pay and allowances comparable with officers of the same ranks' on the effective" strength of the Royal Air Force ;and whether this represents additional cost to the Department ? Sir S. Hoare : The answer to the first part of the question is none, and the-otlier parts therefore do not arise. The Air Force officers at the Air Ministry, are employed solely in posts in which service experience is demanded. 455
