ACTION IN BRITAIN
(Received November 18, 2.15 p.m.)
LONDON, November 17.
"It is not an exaggeration to say that not months, but years, have been saved in getting the new and largest types of machines into our air squadrons," said the Secretary for Air (Lord Swinton) in the course of his speech in the House of Lords.
In reference to a balloon barrage foe London, he said that orders had been placed for delivery to begin at the end of next year.
The Government had completed and occupied six new aerodromes and twenty-nine sites had been secured where work was progressing.
