§ Mr. MANVILLEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Muni- 1470W tions (1) if he is aware that the demobilisation of the Aeronautical Inspection Department (Coventry District) is not being carried out in accordance with his statement in Parliament, i.e., that the residue to be retained would consist of discharged soldiers providing they possessed the necessary qualifications; (2) why Mr. Frank Holder, Coventry District (Engines), registered No. 5203, examiner-in-charge, grade 1, a discharged soldier with disabilities contracted during military service, has been discharged from his appointment notwithstanding that civilians are being retained in the Department?
