HC Deb 19 March 1919 vol 113 c2114W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Under-Secretary of Stats to the Air Minister whether wounded officers and soldiers are being discharged from the Air Ministry while civilians and girl clerks are being retained?

Major-General SEELY

In the reduction of staff which is at present taking place, those airmen who have been demobilised have been so treated at their own request. Several wounded officers, whose work has come to an end, have also been discharged. The work on which girl clerks and civilians are employed is unsuitable for officers.
