HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 cc2156-7W
Major Wyatt

asked the Under Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that, in view of the slowdown in R.A.F. demobilisation forecast for next year, the leaflet inviting R.A.F. personnel to remain permanently in the R.A.F. has caused annoyance; and whether he will withdraw this leaflet until conditions of service in the peace-time R.A.F. are known.

Mr. Strachey

The leaflet to which my hon. and Gallant Friend refers was issued as part of a recruiting campaign to arouse interest in the adoption of the Royal Air Force as a peace-time career. I am aware that there has been some Press criticism of this leaflet, but my information does not confirm my hon. and Gallant Friend's suggestion that it has caused general annoyance in the Service.
