HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 c1540W
Captain Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether it is the intention of the Air Ministry to supplement the Service pay of employés of firms under Air Ministry control who were called to the Colours on the outbreak of war?

Sir K. Wood

I presume that my hon. and gallant Friend is referring to the shadow factories, which are managed by selected firms on behalf of the Air Ministry. I am advised that the practice of these firms follows that of good employers in similar industries.
