HC Deb 02 July 1919 vol 117 cc985-6W
Mr. F. C. THOMSON

asked the Under-Secretary of 'State to the Air Ministry why members of the Women's Royal Air Force are not given free railway warrants when proceeding home on leave; and if he will take steps to remedy this?

Major-General SEELY

The general rule is that expenses in connection with leave are not a public charge. Certain concessions were made to the Army and Royal Air Force as a war measure, but these were not extended to the women's corps attached to the Army and Royal Air Force, because of the difference in their conditions of service. The question of making similar concessions to the women's corps is now under consideration.
