§ Major GLYNasked the Under-Secretary of State to the Air Ministry whether he will cause the case of Private C Aykroyd, No. 160249, 2nd class, at present attached to the training brigade, Royal Air Force, Heliopolis, Cairo, Egypt, to be reconsidered in view of the representations that 'have already been made by this man's firm to secure his release, and the fact that he was recognised as a slip man by the Air Ministry, and that his commanding officer is willing to release him if the necessary authority be given by the Air Ministry; and whether, in view of the fact that since the authorities maintained this man in his employment until April, 1918,as being work of national importance, he will also consider the necessity of returning him now so that a number of persons who are waiting his release before they can themselves return to work may find employment and so cease to draw the unemployment donation?
§ Major-General SEELYInstructions have been sent to Egypt authorising the release of Air Mechanic Aykroyd as soon as Service exigencies will permit.
