HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 cc35-6W
Mr. Emrys Roberts

asked the Undersecretary of State for Air whether he will consider the creation of Welsh squadrons, both in the R.A.F. and in the Auxiliary Air Force.

Mr. de Freitas

We could not organise the composition of Royal Air Force regular squadrons on a geographical basis, but this can be done for units of the Auxiliary Air Force in peacetime. We already have No. 614 (County of Glamorgan) Squadron, which we are reconstituting as part of the A.A.F. and my hon. Friend's suggestion will certainly be borne in mind in considering any future extension of the Auxiliary Air Force.
