HC Deb 08 February 1940 vol 357 c428W
Mrs. Adamson

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give an undertaking that ex-service men employed as temporary civilian clerks in Air Ministry outstations prior to the outbreak of war will not be discharged during war time in order that their places may be filled by members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force?

Sir K. Wood

It is not the policy of the Air Ministry to displace by members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force clerks employed at Air Ministry outstations in posts established for civilians.
