HC Deb 10 December 1946 vol 431 c190W
86. Mr. C. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for War in how many cases since VJ-Day the Army Council have intervened to prevent commissions being granted to men who have successfully passed War Office Selection Boards; in how many cases they have intervened to prevent transfers from one arm of the service to another which had been recommended by specialist interviewing boards; and how many of the latter cases were proposed transfers to the Army Education Corps

Mr. Bellenger

I regret that no figures are available of the number of cases of men recommended by War Office Selection Boards who have not been commissioned or of those recommended for transfers who have not in fact been transferred.
