HC Deb 26 October 1945 vol 414 cc2468-9W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will make a statement on the future prospects of members of the Regular R.A.F. who, after being passed by his Ministry's Board for a commission, now find themselves in the pool with the number of vacancies for commissioned officers probably limited by the cessation of hostilities.

Mr. Strachey

It has throughout been made clear to members of the Air Force that selection for an emergency commission for ground duties by an Air Ministry Selection Board did not necessarily imply that appointment to a commission would follow. Appointments are still being made, but the requirements are naturally now very limited.
