§ Major Wyattasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will consider instituting a rule that women over the age of 40 may be posted further a field than Germany.
§ Mr. StracheyI cannot believe that the hon. and gallant Member is proposing to post all women over the age of 40 further a field than Germany. In fact W.A.A.Fs. who are posted overseas are all volunteers. There is no upper age limit for posting to air force units in North West Europe, but for most other overseas postings an age limit of 38 years has been fixed on medical grounds.
