§ 74. Major Beamishasked the Secretary of State for Air what effect the reduction of the period of conscription from r8 months to 12 months will have on the release of the W.A.A.F.; and which trades are affected and to what extent.
§ Mr. de FreitasNone at all.
§ Major BeamishIs the hon. Gentleman aware that a number of women who had their release retarded recently have been given the reason that it is because of the reduction in the period of conscription, and will he give the matter his attention?
§ Mr. de FreitasI am certainly not aware of that. We are not delaying release, and we are up to Group 59 already. I am glad to have the opportunity of saying that there is no truth in the statement.
