Rear-Admiral Sir Murray Sueter: ...is proposed to proceed with the scheme for the progressive reduction of the Imperial garrison in that country. Does that mean that those eight squadrons are to be reduced, or are you going to train Arabs to take the place of our pilots, because it is not quite clear what you are going to do. I think it is most important that we should have more trained and skilled engineers in the Air...

Mr Shapurji Saklatvala: ...without waiting for any disarmament conference, cannot enter into a sort of partnership, maintaining only one Air Force for strictly defensive purposes, and give up their enterprise in bombing the Arabs, Moroccans, and so on.

Mr Henry Croft: ...country. 1.0 P.M. If we believe in the fiscal policy of this country, the policy of free imports and taxed exports, what right have we to complain?

Mr Frederick Macquisten: ...is the one thing they will not allow the working man to have. As a. matter of fact they do not give the working man even a dog's chance of liberty.

Sir Robert Hamilton: ...benefit of ourselves in that country and for future development of the whole country. I am not an old man, but I can remember the days of Livingstone.
