HC Deb 12 March 1952 vol 497 cc140-1W
62. Mr. Mitchison

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air why there is not granted to the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve officers in ground trades any such annual bounty as is granted to Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve non-commissioned officers and other ranks in ground trades and to all ranks of Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve aircrew; and whether he will rectify the omission.

Mr. Ward

It is not the practice to pay an annual bounty to officers employed on non-flying duties in any of the Auxiliary or Reserve Forces,; and it is not proposed to make any change in the present system of bounties for the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve.
