HC Deb 23 January 1947 vol 432 c93W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Air, how many R.A.F. personnel are being used for service civilian air line aeroplanes; how far this is delaying demobilisation and when it will come to an end.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

Servicing of civil aircraft by the Royal Air Force is incidental to its normal duties, and no airmen are specially provided for this purpose; in consequence, it is not delaying demobilisation. The work will decrease as the civil organisation expands, particularly overseas.
