HC Deb 23 May 1939 vol 347 cc2127-8W
Mr. Perkins

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give the House any information as to the total number of people likely to be employed during the year 1940 by his Department on the Royal Air Force dump at Quedgeley; and what proportion of these men will be brought in from other areas?

Sir K. Wood

It is anticipated that the Maintenance Unit at Quedgeley will provide employment for about 1,000 civilian personnel including supervisory, clerical and industrial grades. It is probable that roughly one-third of these will not be available locally.
