HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 c1672
89. Mr. RAPER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether some thousands of junior flying officers and flight-cadets are living at various aerodromes and Royal Air Force stations and doing no work of any useful character; and whether some work can be found for them which will enable these officers and flight-cadets to be useful to the Royal Air Force in the future if, and when, a reserve force is formed?

Major-General SEELY

About 50 per cent. of the officers and practically all cadets now stationed in the United Kingdom are awaiting demobilisation. My hon. Friend may be assured that work of a useful character has been and will be found for those who remain, as far as it is possible to do so.
