HC Deb 21 February 1945 vol 408 c774
18. Mr. John Dugdale

asked the Secretary' of State for Air the total number of Members on the A.T.C. Welfare Committee; and how many of these are Conservative, Liberal and Labour Members of Parliament, respectively.

Sir A. Sinclair

Six of the 44 members of the A.T.C. Central Council of Welfare are Members of this House. Three of them are Conservatives; one is Labour, one Liberal and one Liberal National.

20. Sir W. Brass

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the disappointment which exists in the ranks of the A.T.C. owing to the small intake of personnel into the R.A.F., he will consider devising a plan for exchanging some of the more advanced personnel of the United Kingdom squadrons of the A.T.C. with their counterparts in the Dominion Empire after the war, so that some of those who have passed various proficiency tests can have an opportunity of seeing flying conditions in different parts of the Empire.

Sir A. Sinclair

I will certainly bear this possibility in mind.
