§ Mr. Langasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what duties are now being performed by members of the R.A.F. in West Africa; and how long it is proposed to retain them there.
§ Mr. StracheyAs I said on 24th October to my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Camberwell (Mrs. Corbet), the West Africa Command provides the facilities necessary for air communications in that part of the world. The job can now be done with fewer men and since 24th October we have brought home 580 more men from West Africa.
