HC Deb 10 November 1920 vol 134 c1175
67. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Secretary of State for Air if it is now the practice of the Air Force to train their own men for pilots, mechanics, etc., from youths entering the service; at what age youths are accepted for this training; if any educational or other test is required; for how many years the training lasts; how many training camps exist for this purpose and where they are situated; and what is approximately the number of such men at present under training?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

The answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative. The answers to the remaining parts cannot be conveniently given orally, as they involve replies to over 40 different points. If the hon. Member is interested, he should communicate with the hon. Member for Chatham (Lieut. -Colonel Moore-Brabazon) who will be able to give him all the information he may require.
