§ against anxiety, danger and possible defeat.
I wish to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the extra £74,000 which I see is to be voted under the heading of "Balloons and Hangars" is to provide London with a balloon apron?
The sum of £74,000 is for various experimental services the exact nature of which it would not be in the public interest to disclose.
