§ Mr. Zilliacusasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air why 148208, Corporal Taylor, D. H., 627 Squadron, Hut 45, Woodhall Gate, R.A.F., Woodhall Spa, a skilled miner, anxious to return to work underground and applied for by the North 2076W Walbottle Coal Company for release under Class B, has not been offered release by his Ministry and is, instead, on embarkation leave prior to going to the Middle East, with orders to report to his draft centre on 24th November; and whether he will ensure his being offered release under Class B.
§ Mr. StracheyAn offer of release in Class B was made in respect of this airman in September, but I am sorry that owing to the disbandment of his unit shortly afterwards the offer apparently never reached him. We have now sent a fresh offer to his new unit and he has been released in Class B.
