HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 c6W
68. Mr. H. Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what requests have been made recently by Jordan for a Royal Air Force training mission; and what has been the decision with regard to these requests.

Mr. Ernest Davies

Requests were made last year by the Jordan Government for assistance in training personnel in flying and maintenance of aircraft. In accordance with our Treaty obligation, this request was met by sending to Amman one flight-lieutenant and two senior N.C.Os. to give instruction in flying and maintenance of aircraft. This is, of course, not an R.A.F. training mission.
