HC Deb 24 October 1945 vol 414 c2161W
Mrs. Corbet

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the reasons for the maintenance in being of the West African Command, R.A.F.; whether he is aware that there are general complaints that the men there have little to do; and whether he has any plans for the future employment of them.

Mr. Strachey

The Royal Air Force West Africa Command provides facilities necessary for the safety and efficiency of air communications. A reduced establishment can now be accepted to carry out these duties and men are being brought home as quickly as possible.
