§ Mr. Pagetasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that R.A.F. personnel forming part of 103 Staging Post, Southern France, who are due for repatriation, are being sent by air to Naples and thence by train to Milan and across France to a Channel port; and whether he will take steps to see that they return by a more direct route.
§ Mr. StracheyI am looking into the particulars which my hon. Friend has sent to me, and I will communicate with him as soon as possible.
§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether it is now possible to give a definite date for the early repatriation to the United Kingdom of R.A.F. personnel in Iceland.
§ Mr. StracheyThe withdrawal of the R.A.F. from Iceland will be virtually completed by next March, but as peacetime arrangements for air traffic control are not yet settled, some R.A.F. Signals personnel may have to remain for a little time after that date.
