London, May 10.
In the House of Commons today, Mr. A. C, Jones, Labour member for the Shipley division of Yorkshire, asked regarding two boys from Singapore who had volunteered for the Royal Air Force and had been rejected because they were not of pure British descent on both sides.
Sir Kingsley Wood, Secretary of State for Air, in a written reply, said that it hi mot been possible to identify the cases mentioned from the particulars given, but the regulation was that applicants for enlistment in the Air Force must be of Pure European descent They must also be British subjects and sons of parents who were both British subjects. He did not think it was desirable to modify regulation. Reuter.
