5. Mr. TYSON WILSONasked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether men in the Naval Air Service (Royal Air Force) who provide their own working tools are entitled to compensation for such tools if they are lost under circumstances over which they have no control?
§ Colonel GIBBSAll working tools required are now required for men of the Royal Air Force. My hon. Friend's question, therefore, does not arise.
Mr. WILSONIs the hon. and gallant Gentleman not aware that quite a large number of these men provided their own tools when they joined up, and are still using them?
§ Colonel GIBBSI will inform my hon. and gallant Friend of what the hon. Member says.
