§ 10. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction which exists in connection with certain changes now being made in the duties and personnel of the Observer Corps; and whether he has any statement to make?
§ Sir K. WoodLike all branches of the Air Defence of this country, the organisation of the Observer Corps is constantly under review, so that, in the interests of 1197 economy and efficiency, modifications may be made where shown by experience to be desirable. Certain proposals are at present under consideration and the views of area commanders, which are now being sought, will be fully considered before any change is made.
§ Mr. ManderWill my right hon. Friend be good enough to bear in mind the advisability of at least two persons always being on duty?
§ Sir K. WoodYes, Sir.
