§ 79. Mr. JOHN HARRISasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what is the policy of the Air Ministry with regard to the status and retired pay of those officers who have served in the Royal Air Force during the War and, on demobilisation, were given non-commissioned pensions based upon the number of years served in the ranks prior to being commissioned; and whether the Air Ministry is now in a position to reconsider the claim of Air Force pensioned ranker officers to the status and retired pay of commissioned rank?
§ Mr. LEACHI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on Monday last by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the hon. and gallant Member for Devonport (Major Hore-Belisha).
§ Mr. MACPHERSONWill the hon. Member tell the House whether the Air ex-officer is to be treated in the same way as the Army ex-officer?
