§ GENERAL RUSSELL (Cheltenham)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, if he will state the names of the members of the Departmental Committee which, as mentioned in the statement of the Secretary of State for War, is now considering the reorganisation of the War Office, in accordance with the recommendations of Mr. Brodrick's Committee, and when it is probable that their report will be completed; and, whether it will be laid on the Table of the House?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. J. POWELL WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.The Committee consists of the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, the Financial Secretary, the Assistant Under Secretary of State, and the Accountant-General. Until the Report has been submitted, no assurance can be given as to its presentation. It is not, however, the practice to present Reports of this kind. In consequence of the illness of the Parliamentary Under Secretary the meetings of the Committee have for the present been suspended, but they will be resumed as soon as possible.
