HC Deb 08 February 1940 vol 357 c428W
Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Air the present position with regard to the appointment of welfare officers, what appointments have already been made, covering what areas; and whether it is proposed that any further appointments will be made?

Sir K. Wood

An organisation for the welfare of Royal Air Force personnel has been set up at the Air Ministry, and a senior Royal Air Force officer has been appointed to take charge. No other appointments have yet been made, but the organisation will provide for a physical training expert at each command headquarters and a welfare officer at each command, group, and station.
