§ 33. Sir G. Foxasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air when he will be in a position to make a statement on pensions for warrant officers promoted to officer rank in the R.A.F.
§ Mr. StracheyAt present I can only say this is one of the questions which, as stated in the recent White Paper on officers' pay, is still under interdepartmental examination.
§ Sir G. FoxIs the hon. Gentleman aware that this has been the official reply for some two years? As these officers will soon be coming out of the Service they want to know what plans they can make for their civil life. Will he try to have a decision made quickly?
§ Mr. StracheyYes, Sir.
