Lieutenant-Colonel Sir JOHN HOPEasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether the actual amount paid in passage money by British subjects who came from America to enlist in the Army or Air Forces may be refunded; and, if not, what is the limit of the amount which may be refunded?
§ Major-General SEELYSo far as the Royal Air Force is concerned, the refund which is made is not necessarily the amount actually paid by the individual. The refund is limited to the amount at which a passage of the appropriate class by the most economical route could have been obtained. This amount is £21 for first class and £7 10s. for third class passages from United States or Canadian ports to England.
