asked the Under-secretary of State for Air whether his attention had been drawn to the remarks of the chairman of the bench of magistrates at Stafford, of which a copy has been sent to him, concerning the misuse of public property at No. 16 Maintenance Unit; what action has been taken regarding this matter; and whether he has any statement to make.

Following this case, a court of inquiry has been convened at No. 16 Maintenance Unit, and in due course I will communicate further with my hon. and gallant Friend.
