HC Deb 09 March 1927 vol 203 c1227
51. Captain GARRO-JONES

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the responsibility for the due enforcement of mess regulations rests upon the officers commanding stations; and whether there is any higher supervision in this sphere?

Sir S. HOARE

The answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative. The higher supervision is provided in the shape of the periodical inspections and general control of group and area commanders.

Colonel WOODCOCK

Has a committee of inquiry been inquiring into the expense of the Air Force, and what decision have they arrived at?

Sir S. HOARE

There has been no special inquiry. As I informed the hon. and gallant Gentleman the other day, I have no reason to think the expenses are excessive.
