HC Deb 16 May 1963 vol 677 c183W
Mr. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Air how many members of the Royal Air Force lost their resettlement grant in 1962 through being discharged 12 hours and 24 hours, respectively, after the last possible date.

Mr. H. Fraser

Portions of a day are not significant for discharge purposes. Three airmen were discharged from service on the day following the ending of the special resettlement grant scheme. I realise how disappointing this must have been for them but the only practicable arrangement was to decide a date for the ending of the scheme and keep to it.
