HC Deb 12 June 1941 vol 372 c370W
Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware of the keen desire for an air training corps for girls; and whether, in areas where sufficient girls between the ages of 15 to 19 express a desire to undergo air training, he will provide facilities?

Sir A. Sinclair

Girls can now enter the Women's Auxiliary Air Force on attaining the age of 17J and I do not think it would be justifiable, in present circumstances, to set up the considerable organisation that would be necessary to provide preparatory training for still younger girls.
