asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is satisfied that all steps are taken to review the civil and educational experience and qualifications of men, after joining the Royal Air Force, with a view to full utilisation of each man's skill and attainments to the greatest advantage during his service, and thereby ensuring the most effective use of manpower?

The Secretary of State for Air (Sir Archibald Sinclair)

Yes, Sir. Every effort is made by constant review and inquiry to ensure that the skill and experience of officers and airmen are used to the best advantage.
