§ 89. Mr. Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Air what total grant is available during the year 1947 for the Auxiliary Air Force; and what percentage this is of the total Air Force grants.
§ Mr. P. Noel-BakerI regret that the information is not available in the form which the hon. Member has requested, as most of the expenditure on the Auxiliary Air Force is merged with that of the Royal Air Force as a whole. Details of certain items are, however, published separately for the Auxiliary Air Force in Vote 2 of the Air Estimates. This Vote provides a sum of £210,000 for the pay and allowances of members of the Auxiliary Air Force and for grants to Territorial and Auxiliary Forces Associations in the current year.
