HC Deb 29 January 1941 vol 368 c568W
Squadron Leader Hulbert

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will issue instructions that where an officer is required to relinquish an acting rank for any reason whatsoever and is succeeded by an officer serving under him, the officer so relieved will be posted to another unit and will not in any circumstances serve immediately under the officer who has replaced him?

Captain Balfour

While I appreciate the point of my hon. and gallant Friend's Question, Service requirements are such that it would not be practicable to make an inflexible rule of the kind suggested.
