CIVIL FLYING SCHOOLS

HC Deb 28 February 1945 vol 408 cc1401-2W

Mr. Montague

asked the Secretary of State for Air what is the civilian salary of the wing-commanders commanding the civil-operated flying training schools.

Sir A. Sinclair

The Air Ministry requires that the civil companies operating the schools should pay these officers at a rate at least equivalent to the Service pay and allowances of their rank. The minimum salary paid under these arrangements is of the order of £1,300 per annum.
