HC Deb 25 October 1939 vol 352 c1378
24. Sir A. Southby

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether retired officers of the Royal Air Force who, before the outbreak of war, were being employed at the Air Ministry as substitution officers in the place of officers on the active list, will now be placed on the active list like officers who have been recalled since the outbreak of war?

Sir K. Wood

This matter is at present under consideration.
