HC Deb 27 March 1957 vol 567 cc1143-4
44. Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for Air what facilities are available for former members of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force fighter squadrons who join fighter control units; and how many so far have been transferred.

Mr. Ward

The normal training and other facilities of fighter control units are available; there have been 458 transfers so far.

Air Commodore Harvey

Can my right hon. Friend say if the men who have transferred are to get facilities to do some real work, and useful work?

Mr. Ward

Yes, Sir. Of course, my hon. and gallant Friend will realise that there is a limit to the kind of useful training that we can provide, but, within the facilities available, we will give all the useful training we can.
