§ MR. BROOKFIELD (Sussex, Rye)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he will soon be in a position to state what steps, if any, will be taken to deal with the present very serious dearth of officers in the Volunteer Service?
§ MR. BRODRICKMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has given personal attention to this subject; and as he is now abroad and cannot be present, perhaps my hon. Friend will kindly put the question to him on his return.
