§ Mr. Garro Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Air, how many men were invalided out of the Royal Air Force in 1937 and 1938; in how many cases was the disability attributed to the service; and to what final appeal has an aggrieved man the right of recourse?
§ Sir K. WoodTwo hundred and eighty-one men were invalided during 1937 and 316 during 1938: the disability was attributed to service in 53 and 35 cases respectively. An invalided airman who feels himself aggrieved either at the refusal of a pension or at its amount has a right of appeal to the Air Council, and such appeals are always sympathetically considered.
