HC Deb 01 July 1949 vol 466 c117W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for Air what is the total number of books for educational and recreational purposes in the possession of the Royal Air Force; and how many are stored at Innsworth Royal Air Force station.

Mr. A. Henderson

About a million educational books are in the possession of the R.A.F. of which about 200,000 are at the Book Distribution Centre, Innsworth. A considerable number of recreational books, mainly provided from non-public sources, are held in station recreational libraries but the actual number is not available.
