21. Captain TERRELLasked the Secretary of State for War what transport still is maintained at the port depot of the Royal Air Force at Boulogne; what work is done by the lorries; how many officers and other ranks are there still employed; and whether there is any other reason for this depot being kept open except that it forms a convenient booking-office for officers going East by way of Paris?
Captain GUEST (Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury)I have been asked to answer this question. The reply to the first part is that the mechanical transport at the port depot of the Royal Air Force at Boulogne consists of one touring car and one light tender; to the second part, that there are no lorries; to the third part, that the staff consists of one officer and four airmen; and to the fourth part, that this depot is being kept open to deal with the drafts of airmen arriving from England daily and with the evacuation of airmen from France.
