§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Secretary of State for War, If the recent experiment in giving Volunteer Captains and Field Officers instruction in Military tactics was a success, what numbers in Scotland and England respectively attended, what proportion passed, and what proportion passed with honours; and, if there is to be another opportunity for those who did not attend, or who failed to pass?
§ MR. CHILDERSSir, in reply to my hon. Friend, I have to say that the papers of the Volunteer candidates for examination in tactics are only now being received, and as between 600 and 700 officers were examined, it will be some weeks before the results can be known. There will be further periodical opportunities for examination afforded to officers of the Auxiliary Forces.
