§ 41. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry what arrangements are made for cadets between their stay at Hampstead in the reception battalion and their transfer to a school or between their school and squadron; and what allowance or pay is given them?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE to the AIR MINISTRY (Major Baird)Cadets ordinarily proceed direct from the distribution depot at Hampstead to the cadet brigade or school to which they are posted. If granted leave from the depot they are given on application an advance of pay at 1s. 6d. per diem, plus ration allowance at the rate of 2s. 1d. per diem.
Cadets passing from the school at Uxbridge to a training squadron are usually 2867 given a week's leave in respect of which an advance of seven days' pay and ration allowance is made as well as a return railway warrant. Cadets from the Dominions are given an additional advance in view of the fact that most of them have no homes in England.
