Sir Philip Sassoo Under- Secretary for Air, in Anding up the Defence Debate the House of Commons to-nig, said the Government did notionsider it in the public interest give precise detalls of the addtional aircraft and engines to bordered for the Royal Air Force..

Donjing with the training of the personal of the Royal Air Force, Sir Thilip said they had decided to credo five new Air Force train- ing centres and to proceed still further with the scheme by which té civil aviation industry would 1e used for training pllots.

HUGE COST

The Under-Secretary stated that the Government proposed to create in 1935-36 Beventy-one new squadrons Instead of twenty-two, scheduled in the existing scheme of expansion...

He said the cost would be formidable and a substantial sup- plementary cstimato would be necessary.

He added that the Government now had in production a type of heavy bomber which they con- sidered superior to any bomber owned by any foreign nation. The altuation with regard to other types was very satisfactory, ho went on.

"We expect in the next few weeks the delivery of the newer types of fighters which show re markable advances in performance and when compared to any other fighter used elsewhere."

Sr Philip concluded that he was convinced that the Govern- ment's policy was the only one which would bring a limitation of armaments so much desired.

The .Houso confirmed the Government's policy by rejecting the Labour motion on the subject 340 to 52.
