HC Deb 17 January 1945 vol 407 c173W
Viscount Suirdale

asked the Secretary of State for Air after what period of service abroad officers and other ranks of the R.A.F. are repatriated to this country; and whether any differentiation is made between married and unmarried personnel.

Sir A. Sinclair

The normal tour of overseas duty in the R.A.F. is four years in the case of single personnel and married officers and men accompanied by their families, and three years in the case of married officers and men unaccompanied by their families. The posting home of personnel who have completed their tour is, of course, subject to the availability of shipping and to the exigencies of the service.
