§ Mr. Lewisasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how many National Service men have been admitted into the Royal Air Force for the past two years with a physical disability which has subsequently been treated whilst serving in the Royal Air Force; and how many of these cases have responded to such treatment.
Mr. WardI regret that this information could not be made available without disproportionate research.
§ Mr. Lewisasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the period of time that he keeps a temporarily disabled National Service man in the Royal Air Force for the purpose of ascertaining whether he will eventually become medically fit and efficient for Royal Air Force duties.
Mr. WardUp to twelve months from the date of ceasing duty. All periods of absence from duty due to the same disability are aggregated unless they are separated by six months or more.
