Mr. Roebuck

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what opportunities were offered to Leading Aircraftwoman Betty Jones, presently stationed at Royal Air Force, Stanmore Park, to transfer from married quarter duties; and what was her response.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Leading Aircraft-woman Jones was asked on several occasions if she wished to transfer from married quarter duties. She always said she preferred to work in married quarters.

Mr. Roebuck

asked the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will give details of any complaints made to her superiors by Leading Aircraftwoman Betty Jones, presently stationed at Royal Air Force, Stan-more Park, concerning the nature of her duties.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

LACW Jones made no such complaint. Indeed she said she wanted to remain on the same duties.

Mr. Roebuck

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what information on the trade and duties she could expect to undertake was given to Leading Aircraft-woman Betty Jones, presently stationed at Royal Air Force, Stanmore Park, at Birmingham Careers Information Office and elsewhere.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

This airwoman was given a full explanation of her trade and duties at both the Careers Information Office and at Royal Air Force Spitalgate when she entered the W.R.A.F. At Royal Air Force Stanmore Park she was informed of her duties and these are exhibited in the stewards' control office clearly for all stewardesses to see.
