§ Sir WILLIAM PEARCEasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry if he will state what number of persons are now employed in the Air Force buildings, Regent's Park; what is the nature of the work; and when this portion of the park will be vacated by them?
§ Major-General SEELYThe number of persons at present employed by the Royal. 65W Air Force at Regent's Park is 2,332. They are engaged on the receipt, salvage, storage, and issue of aeroplane engines and their spares. Standard stocks are gradually being transferred to Ruislip, and it is hoped to complete this process by 30th September. The buildings and stocks not required to be retained will be handed over to the Aircraft Disposal Department of the Ministry of Munitions, the period of whose retention of them will, I understand, depend upon the time required for the disposal of the stocks transferred.
