asked the Secretary of State for Air how many Auxiliary Air Force flying squadrons are in existence in Yorkshire; and what is the qualification for would-be recruits?

Three of these squadrons are stationed in Yorkshire. The qualifications for recruits vary according to the category in which they desire to enlist. Full details are given in Air Ministry Pamphlet 33, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member.

Can the right hon. Gentleman state what is the financial qualification to be a member of this particular Air Squadron?

I could not do so without notice.

Is it not the case that this is rather an exclusive body, and will he state what is the actual cost of buildings and accommodation for the Auxiliary Air Force as compared with the quarters provided for the Royal Air Force Reserve?

If the hon. Member will put down a question I will answer it, but I do not think there is any departure in this squadron from the usual rates of pay.
