HC Deb 13 November 1957 vol 577 c55W
90. Mr. Dodds

asked the Secretary of State for Air under what circumstances his Department meets the expense involved in an airman's fiancée travelling from this country to the Far East to be married; whether this service is available to all airmen serving overseas; how many- have used the available facilities since 1st January, 1950; and in what way air men are made aware of the details of the scheme.

Mr. Ward

The fiancée of a Regular airman serving overseas may join him at public expense provided a free passage would be admissible if she were already his wife, and provided also that they marry within a month of her arrival. The scheme is set out in Queen's Regulations and Air Council Instructions.
