§ Flight-Lieutenant Grant-Ferrisasked the Secretary 6f State for Air why two definitions for leave are given in the King's Regulations and Air Council Instructions, one, paragraph 1357, applying to officers, and the other, paragraph 1391, applying to airmen; and whether he will consider introducing one definition for officers and men as in the Royal Navy, Article 636, King's Regulations and Admiralty Instructions?
§ Sir K. WoodThe purport of the two paragraphs to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers is the same in spite of the slight difference in wording. They have existed in their present form for a number of years and are well understood in the Royal Air Force. I am, however, willing to consider whether any change in the wording is desirable.
