HC Deb 25 July 1978 vol 954 c619W
25. Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what rules apply to the use of Royal Air Force personnel assisting or providing services at functions or events held by senior officers in either an official or a private capacity.

Mr. Wellbeloved

Personnel on duty may normally be employed only in approved posts on duties appropriate to their rank and skill. Off duty, subject to certain safeguards, personnel are free to use their time as they wish.
