HC Deb 17 February 1938 vol 331 cc2057-8
47. Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the complaints laid before him of unfair treatment meted out to officers of the staff serving at the Air Ministry under the Director of Civil Aviation; and will he make a statement?

The Prime Minister

I have received no such complaints. In any case the appropriate person to whom to appeal would be the Secretary of State for Air.

Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

Has the right hon. Gentleman heard nothing of the complaints, which are becoming common property and which are impairing the efficiency of the Department concerned, and will he make inquiries of the Secretary of State for Air as to these complaints, which call for the exercise of his authority to settle?

The Prime Minister

The hon. and gallant Member asked me about complaints which had been laid before me and I have told him that I have not had them.

Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

Will the right hon. Gentleman make inquiries from the Secretary of State for Air?

Mr. G. Griffiths

Did the Prime Minister not get a complaint yesterday from Ipswich?
