HC Deb 14 December 1938 vol 342 cc1977-8
38. Mr. Grant-Ferris

asked the Secretary of State for Air how many squadrons of the Royal Air Force cadets have now been formed; and how many of them are located in Scotland and Wales, respectively?

Sir K. Wood

The number of squadrons of the Air Defence Cadet Corps which have now been formed is 31, one of which is in Wales. No squadrons have yet been formed in Scotland, but I am informed by the Air League of the British Empire that they are hoping to organise some Scottish units early in the New Year.

Mr. Grant-Ferris

Can the right hon. Gentleman say why there is this lack of initiative on the part of the Scottish nation?

Mr. Kirkwood

Did I not say yesterday that there are five Scottish regiments in Palestine?
