HC Deb 18 April 1950 vol 474 cc11-2W
Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Secretary of State for Air what help he receives from the Headmasters' Conference in obtaining entrants for the Royal Air Force Cadet College, Cranwell; and whether he has sought or received, or intends to seek, similar help from headmasters of schools not represented in the Headmasters' Conference.

Mr. A. Henderson

The Headmasters' Conference and the schools represented on it have afforded great assistance in obtaining entrants for the R.A.F. College, Cranwell. Regular machinery has been established for the distribution of careers literature; headmasters and careers masters visit R.A.F. selection and training establishments; and facilities have been provided for schools liaison officers, who are serving R.A.F. officers, to make regular visits to schools with the object of fostering interest in the R.A.F. as a career. Equally valuable help is given by headmasters of schools not represented on the Headmasters' Conference who are approached through the Juvenile Employment Service of the Ministry of Labour and National Service and local education authorities.
