§ Major Earl WINTERTONasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Air Force cadets in Egypt who are surplus to needs have been told that they are to revert to their original Army rank; and if he is aware that great hardship in particular is caused to those former cadets who are returning to the United Kingdom and are not allowed to take with them the additional kit which they were compelled to buy as cadets?
§ Major-General SEELYInstructions have been issued that flight cadets are not to be reduced in rank on the grounds stated in the question, and that any who have been so reduced are to be re-appointed as from the date of reduction. I am making inquiries in regard to the second part of the question, and will communicate the result to my Noble Friend.
