§ 43. Major DAVID DAVIESasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry how far the arrangements for the medical care of the Air Service have been proceeded with; and what steps he intends to take to expedite the transference of Royal Army Medical Corps officers previously attached to the Royal Flying Corps to the Air Forces, so as to be under the direct control and administration of the Medical Administrator of the Air Council in this country?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE to the AIR MINISTRY (Major Baird)The answer to the first part of the question is that the Medical Administrative Committee have met and have come to a number of decisions which are now being dealt with by the Air Council. The answer to the second part of the question is that the officers referred to will, in the first instance, be lent to the Air Force, and will be under the direct control of the Medical Administrator. When the conditions of service for medical officers who are to be seconded to the Air Force have been decided, those officers who are considered suitable will be seconded to the Air Force.
