HC Deb 27 November 1946 vol 430 cc326-8W
Mr. Sharp

asked the Secretary of State for Air how many R.A.F. personnel are now serving on home establishments and the percentage reduction since August, 1945; and the approximate percentage of total R.A.F. personnel now serving over-seas.

Mr. de Freitas

The reduction in the strength of the Royal Air Force in this country between August, 1945, and the end of October, 1946, is 63 per cent. It would be contrary to public policy to give the other information asked for.
