§ Mr. Murrayasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he is aware of the dissatisfaction in the R.A.F., North Front, Gibraltar, about the food that is being supplied, and the bad living conditions; and if he will investigate these matters and take action with a view to satisfying these airmen.
§ Mr. StracheyThis station has temporary buildings and the area which could be used for new construction is very limited. During last November and December there were difficulties with living accommodation and messing due to severe gales and floods, but I am not aware of any general complaints about the food there. I have looked into the other matters raised in the correspondence which my hon. Friend sent to me, and I find that steps are being taken for the repatriation of tour-expired airmen from the unit concerned at Gibraltar and for the unit to receive all the necessary official notices or orders direct from the United Kingdom.
