HC Deb 22 June 1949 vol 466 cc175-6
1. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Secretary of State for Air what action is being taken to encourage airmen and airwomen to join the Royal Auxiliary Air Force on demobilisation.

The Secretary of State for Air (Mr. Arthur Henderson)

Full details of the terms and conditions of service in the Royal Auxiliary Air Force are available at all stations at home and overseas. In addition, at the time of release from service, all airmen and airwomen are given a leaflet containing the addresses of auxiliary and reserve units as well as the conditions of service.

Wing-Commander Hulbert

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman consider doing something more than just giving these men and women a leaflet containing the addresses of auxiliary and reserve units? Will he also consider advising the appropriate associations of the names and addresses of these men and women as they are released, so that the officers of the associations may get into touch with them?

Mr. Henderson

I think I can reply "Yes" to both parts of that question.
