HC Deb 29 July 1941 vol 373 cc1271-2W
Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Minister of Aircraft Production the total revenue of the Air Transport Auxiliary Service in each quarterly or other convenient period for which records are available and the source of that revenue?

Mr. Montague

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to-day in reply to a similar Question on this matter.

Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Minister of Aircraft Production what total number of each rank of Air Transport Auxiliary Service employees, as classified on 2nd July, 1941, was on the roll of employees available as pilots, or, if the total number cannot be given, what percentage of the above-mentioned roll was represented by the total of each rank as classified?

Mr. Montague

It would not be in the public interest to disclose the number of pilots employed by the Air Transport Auxiliary. Percentages of the total number of employees holding the ranks classified on the 2nd July, 1941, represented by the total of each rank and the percentages available as pilots are as follows: —

Captain, 1.8 per cent., of which 52.5 per cent. are available as pilots.

Junior Captain 3.2 per cent., of which 100.0 per cent. are available as pilots.

First Officer, 42.5 per cent., of which 90.9 per cent. are available as pilots.

Second Officer, 20.6 per cent., of which 73.0 per cent. are available as pilots.

Probationary Cadets, 31.9 per cent., of of which 100.0 per cent. are available as pilots.
