HC Deb 15 April 1937 vol 322 c1197W
Mr. Parker

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what number of applicants in each of the last three years for short-service commissions have been re-fused respectively, after submitting an application form and without being granted an interview, and after having been interviewed; and what percentage these numbers formed in each case of the total number of applicants?

Sir P. Sassoon

I regret that the complete figures for which the hon. Member asks are not readily available, and as they could not be compiled without considerable labour I trust that he will not press for them.
