§ 27. Mr. Hurdasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is satisfied that all the W.A.A.F. shorthand-typists at the R.A.F. Records Office, Ruislip, are fully employed; and, if not, if he will expedite the rate of release so that these girls may be more usefully occupied in civilian life.
§ Mr. de FreitasThe R.A.F. Record Office is very fully employed on the demobilisation programme and consequent postings. I should be grateful if the hon. Member would give me particulars of under employment in the office, and I will, of course, look into the matter.
§ Mr. HurdWill the Minister give these girls the pleasure of a surprise visit and ask them himself if time is hanging heavily on their hands?
§ Mr. de FreitasI shall be delighted to go and look at these girls, and I shall attempt to do so.
