§ 92. Colonel Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Air what is the present establishment of education officers and N.C.Os. acting as education officers in the Middle East; and what number of R.A.F. personnel come under their administration for education.
§ Mr. A. HendersonI regret I am unable to give the hon. and gallant Member the information for which he asks, as this would involve disclosing the strength of the R.A.F. in the Middle East, which is contrary to normal practice. I can, however, inform him that the ratio of education officer posts at stations to the number of men who have applied to receive education is about 1: 45.
