§ Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he has yet received the report about the recent interview given to the Press by a senior Royal Air Force officer in Aden; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. WardI have now received a full report of the interview, and I am satisfied that the officer was misreported. I should like to take this opportunity of affirming the Air Council's full confidence in Air Commodore Menaul. No one in Aden has worked with greater enthusiasm and drive for the welfare of airmen and their families.
