HC Deb 08 November 1939 vol 353 c199
31. Rear-Admiral Sir Murray Sueter

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty the reason for departing from the decision arrived at by the Admiralty and Treasury in 1909 that all officers liable to be called upon to go into the air should receive flying pay?

Mr. Shakespeare

The decision to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, had in view personnel who are under a continuous obligation to go up in aeroplanes. This decision has not been departed from.
