HC Deb 17 December 1947 vol 445 c335W
5. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will extend the concession granted those posted to Aden and Iraq to count time served there as time and a quarter for the purpose of calculating their tour of duty in the Middle East, to those actually stationed in Aden and Iraq at the time the concession was announced.

Mr. A. Henderson

The revised arrangements for a two-year tour of duty in Aden and Iraq came into effect on 9th June, 1947. All members of the R.A.F. who were stationed there at that date were eligible for this concession.
