HC Deb 27 February 1946 vol 419 c402W
Lord John Hope

asked the Under Secretary of State for Air what will be the release group position as at 1st March, 1946, for equipment assistants and for equipment officers.

Mr. Strachey

In March we shall release equipment officers in Group 24 and equipment assistants in Group 27. We have just announced that the main body of air men will reach Group 30 in March, instead of Group 29. So this speed up by one group for the month means that equipment assistants will be three groups behind. Equipment officers are four groups behind.
