HC Deb 25 March 1936 vol 310 c1244W
Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware of the complaints that the living conditions at certain Royal Air Force camps are inferior; and what steps are taken to ensure that defects are remedied?

Sir P. SASSOON

The need for the rapid expansion of the Air Force has made it necessary to provide accommodation on a temporary basis at a number of stations, and this has inevitably involved some lowering of the normal standard of accommodation until the temporary huts can be replaced by more permanent buildings. The huts are far superior to those used during the Great War, and, so far as I am aware, have not given rise to any serious complaint. If my hon. Friend has any specific case in mind, perhaps he would let me have particulars.
