Lord Wrenbury, chairman of the Doug-las-Pennant enquiry, has announced that the committee unanimously found the allegations of immorality among the Women's Air Force unsupported, and the evidence went to show that the only specific eliai-ge was absolutely untrue.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn. [At the inquiry into the dismissal of the Hon. Violet Douglas Pennant from the Women's Royal Air Force, after she had protested against the behaviour of some of the officers and women employed in the camps, witnesses repudiated the charges of immorality at Hurst Park camp. The Lady Medical Director said that she was absolutely satisfied that the Women's Air Foree was as moral as any other set of women in the country. On the other hand Miss Douglas Pennant declared that the girls went for motor car joy rides to London with officers, and returned under the influence of liquor in the early hours of the morning.]
