§ Sir L. Everardasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that the number of those who have volunteered 368W for the Civil Air Guard will be substantially reduced by the exempted occupations of a number of applicants; and what steps he proposes to ensure that there is a sufficient number of pupils to keep the approved light aeroplane clubs fully employed by the Civil Air Guard scheme for the remaining three years of the agreed period?
Captain BalfourI am aware of the matter referred to by my hon. Friend. My right hon. Friend has the matter under review in consultation with the Commissioners of the Civil Air Guard and the Ministry of Labour, but he is satisfied that there will be an adequate number of suitable pupils to keep the Civil Air Guard facilities fully employed for some months ahead.
