HC Deb 23 June 1988 vol 135 c710W
Mr. Bill Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the substance of allegations about drinking and drug taking by airmen working on Royal Air Force aircraft.

Mr. Freeman

Recent press reports are based on generalised and unevidenced allegations which cast a slur on the high professional standards maintained by dedicated air crew and ground crew throughout the Royal Air Force. The service will, of course, investigate any specific complaints which are made against it.
