§ 16. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the Secretary of State for Air what pay and allowances are paid to flying instructors at the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve schools.
§ Mr. de FreitasFlying instructors are employed and paid by the civil companies which operate the reserve schools under contract with the Air Ministry.
§ Air-Commodore HarveyHow can the Under-Secretary try to get out of it like that when the salaries are determined by his Ministry? Is he aware that the salary paid is £100 a year below that paid before the war and £150 a year below that paid by the Ministry of Civil Aviation? Will he look into this matter, because there is considerable hardship?
§ Mr. de FreitasI am not aware of the first point which the hon. and gallant Gentleman made. As to the other points, I will certainly look into them.
