HC Deb 29 March 1939 vol 345 c2068W
Flight-Lieutenant Grant-Ferris

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India why officers employed on ferrying, solo, between Karachi and Lahore are paid an allowance of 100 rupees for this duty while the airman-fitter accompanying receives nothing; and whether, having regard to the fact that both pilot and fitter depend upon each other for the safety of the machine, a commensurate allowance can be paid to the airman-fitter?

Lieut-Colonel Muirhead

I am making inquiries from the Government of India and will communicate with my hon. Friend on receipt of their reply.
