HC Deb 14 July 1937 vol 326 c1252
58. Mr. J. J. Davidson

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the total number of officers' servants employed at Montrose air base, and the number of officers per servant receiving attention?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

The number of officers' servants is 35 and the number of officers per servant is represented by an average figure of just over three.

Mr. Davidson

Is the Under-Secretary of State aware that in many cases officers' servants have to give attention to as many as five officers and that their hours are much longer than the usual hours of employés in this country, and will he make representations on this matter in order to see that those officers' servants receive better conditions than at the present time?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

I am not aware of the particular conditions to which the hon. Member refers, but I will look into the matter.
