§ Mr. R. McNEILLasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry if he is aware that N. G. Holman, No. L.Z. 5,793, Royal Air Force, who was formerly a wireless operator in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, received a notice on the 2nd April, 1918, that he had been transferred to the Royal Air Force; that on 29th August, 1918, he was sent to England and was in hospital at Llandudno till 10th December, 1918, on which date he received hospital leave for home, where he has been till the present time; that during the whole of this period he has received no pay with the exception of two sums of £5 sent him by the Royal 2065W Air Force pay office at Woking, in response to appeals on Holman's behalf by a staff captain; that on 29th March, 1919, he received a letter under Reference C.D./M.H.S./285/5 from the Royal Air Force authorities at Blandford, saying that, as Holman had never been transferred and had only been attached to the Royal Air Force, they had no responsibility for him; if he will say whether Holman was, or was not, transferred to the Royal Air Force; and, if so, whether he will now receive all arrears of pay due up to the present date?
