§ Dr. Littleasked the Secretary of State for Air whether, as recruiting for the R.A.F. in Northern Ireland is on a voluntary basis, an opportunity will be given to all who wish to join the force to do so by withdrawing the present embargo and affording facilities for the recruiting of Northern Ireland volunteers into the R.A.F.
§ Captain BalfourExcept for a small number of skilled men in a few special trades, recruitment to the Royal Air Force in Northern Ireland is restricted to volunteers for aircrew duties and those with service in the Air Training Corps. These arrangements, which apply equally to the rest of the United Kingdom, cannot be modified in present circumstances.
