HC Deb 17 June 1941 vol 372 c501W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for War whether in any manoeuvres in this country special arrangements are made for airmen and soldiers to live and work together, so that they may have a proper appreciation of the peculiar needs and problems of the others?

Captain Margesson

My hon. Friend will appreciate that the extent to which soldiers and airmen can be accommodated together on manoeuvres is limited by practical considerations. Officers and men of the two Services, however, work side by side both at the War Office and the Air Ministry and in the field, and, as a result of this close liaison, there is a thorough understanding on either side of the problems of both Services.
