BRITISH AIRCRAFT
ORDER FROM RUSSIA.
LICENSE NOT REQUIRED. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, April 16. The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr G. Locker-Lampson, stated in reply to a question in the House of Commons that he understood negotiations had taken place between the Soviet Government and the British Aircraft Company with a view to supplying Russia with a considerable number of aeroplanes. No license was required to export aeroplanes from this country. If, however, the aeroplanes were fitted with any armament such as machineguns or machine-gun mountings a license would be required before that armament could be exported. No application for a license for the export of such material to the Soviet Government had been received recently. It was not the policy of the British Government to impose restrictions upon the export of civil aircraft to foreign countries.—British Official Wireless.
