Mr. Wm. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether it is the practice of his Department to subsidise insurance premiums for any Royal Air Force personnel; and to what extent.

Mr. John

Yes. Flying personnel may obtain a refund of 75 per cent. of the extra premiums they are required to pay for life assurance to cover the additional risks involved in Service flying. Refund of such premiums is limited to assured sums not exceeding £11,000.
