HC Deb 12 March 1917 vol 91 c743W
Mr. BILLING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the amalgamation of the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps under the Air Board, he will consider the advisability of reviewing the respective seniority of the officers of those two services so as to remove, if possible, the sense of injustice which has been aroused by the previous slow promotion in the naval wing and the rapid promotion in the military wing?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My hon. friend is under a misapprehension in thinking that the Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Flying Corps have been amalgamated. The point suggested in his question does not, therefore, arise.
