HC Deb 24 May 1944 vol 400 c727
17. Dr. Little

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will arrange that Northern Ireland members of air crews in training shall be granted the same privilege as trained members are being permitted to spend their leave at home.

Sir A. Sinclair

The general restrictions on travel to Northern Ireland which were recently announced apply to ordinary leave for all Royal Air Force personnel, including aircrew, whether under training or not.

Dr. Little

Is my right hon. Friend aware of the serious dissatisfaction that exists about this differentiation between trained and untrained crews?

Sir A. Sinclair

I think that my hon. Friend cannot have heard my answer. These restrictions apply to ordinary leave for all R.A.F. personnel, including air crews, whether in training or not.

Dr. Little

I am advised differently.
