HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 cc222-3W
130. Lieut.-Colonel Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Air to what extent the release of wireless mechanics is in arrears of normal R.A.F. demobilisation; and by when he expects that sufficient men will be trained in the trade to overtake the deferment occasioned by this shortage.

Mr. de Freitas

In December wireless mechanics will be three groups behind the general level of release for ground trades. At the moment I cannot say how soon the shortage will he made good.
