HC Deb 22 June 1938 vol 337 cc1094-5W
Mr. Mander

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will state the circumstances under which serving officers are permitted to employ aliens in this country; and to what extent at the present time permission has been granted for the employment of German subjects and other aliens?

Sir K. Wood

Paragraph 861 of King's Regulations and Air Council Instructions forbids the employment of aliens in any Royal Air Force quarters or establishment in this country without prior approval of the Air Ministry. At the present time one Swiss national and two German (ex-Austrian) subjects are employed under this authority.
