HC Deb 27 June 1934 vol 291 cc1108-9
10. Sir FRANK SANDERSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the necessity for encouraging a greater interest in the development of aviation and establishing airmindedness among the youth of this country, he will grant the same recognition, support and facilities as are at present accorded to the Territorial cadet units by the War Office to Territorial Air Force cadet units on condition that they are organised on the same basis as that of the existing Territorial cadet units?
