HC Deb 12 March 1936 vol 309 c2332W
Mr. WAKEFIELD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air how many holders of A or B licences are serving officers in the Royal Air Force or are in the Reserve or Auxilary Air Force; and what is the percentage of A licences which have been granted to persons in this country and have subsequently lapsed?

Sir P. SASSOON

The information desired in the first part of the question could not be given without considerable research. The answer to the second part is that annual wastage represents on a five years' average 30 per cent. of licences current.
