§ 94. Mr. Willisasked the Secretary of State for Air what steps are being taken to level-up the rate of release as between the different trades in the Royal AU Force.
§ Mr. Arthur HendersonSpecial efforts are being made to improve the rate of release in those trades which are behind the general level of release from the R.A.F. Certain duties in the retarded trades are being taken over by less skilled men; airmen from allied trades, as well as recruits, are being trained for these trades; and the largest possible deficiency in strength is being accepted It is hoped that, as a result of these measures, the gap between the highest and lowest groups for release will become less from April onwards.
