HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 cc1307-8W
Mr. SUTTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that an associate member of the Aeronautical Institute, who is draughtsmanship instructor at the British School of Aeronautical Engineering, Oxford Road, Manchester, classified C1, has been called up by the military authorities, and is now serving in the Army Service Corps at Orms-kirk cleaning horses, etc., and for the past two weeks has been laid up through the kick of a horse; whether he is aware that the drawing and design work of this aeronautical school, which is doing most important work at present, has had to be suspended, stopping the work of about thirty aeronautical pupils, many of them in the Royal Flying Corps; and, as no one is available to take his place, whether he will consider the advisability of this man returning to his former work.?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My hon. Friend has already been in communication with me about this case, and I have asked that it may be reconsidered.
