asked the Secretary of State for Air what effect the opening of the University of the Air is expected to have on the recruiting of aircrew for the Royal Air Force.

Mr. Ward:

The opening of the College cannot reduce the appeal of the Royal Air Force for men who wish to combine flying with the wide experience that Service life provides. These are the men we wish to attract.
