Royal Air Force (Release Application) Captain Poole asked the Secretary of State for Air whether his attention has been called to the case of 1539184 A.C/I Hart, L., who desires his release on compassionate grounds in view of the serious condition of this man's wife and that there are young children to be cared for; and what action he proposes to take? Sir A. Sinclair Yes, Sir. I have given this airman's case very careful consideration and in the special circumstances I have authorised his release from the Royal Air Force for an indefinite period.
