§ 64. Brigadier-General CHARTERISasked the Secretary of State for Air what is the number of commissioned officers employed on administrative duties, as apart from technical instructional duties, on the headquarter staff at Halton?
§ Sir S. HOAREThe answer in 37 officers, this number being exclusive of a few officers temporarily borne as supernumerary to establishment, and also of four chaplains. Of the 37 officers in question, 13 are in command and general charge of the 2,000 aircraft apprentices, and 14 are employed on pay, store, supply and accounting duties.
§ Brigadier-General CHARTERISIs that precisely the same number as those employed at the Aldershot command?
§ Sir S. HOARENo, and if it were, I should say the cases are very dissimilar.
§ Lieut. Commander KENWORTHYDo we understand that there are four chaplains employed? Are they all Churchmen?
§ Sir S. HOARENo, there are boys of all denominations.
