Squadron-Leader Hulbert

asked the Secretary of State for Air the equivalent rank in the Royal Air Force to commandant of the Royal Air Force Regiment; what rank badges will be worn by the holder of this appointment; and what pay and allowances he will receive?

Sir A. Sinclair

The designation "Commandant of the Royal Air Force Regiment" is the title of the appointment and not a rank. The present holder of the appointment is an Army officer of the rank of major-general and he will wear the badges, and receive the pay and allowances of his Army rank. The equivalent rank in the Royal Air Force is Air Vice-Marshal.
