§ MAJOR RASCHI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any steps have been taken to carry out the recommendations of the Departmental Decentralisation Committee.
* MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMSThe recommendations of the Decentralisation Committee, which reported in 1898, were with few exceptions accepted by the Secretary of State, and have been included in regulations. I hope, however, to be able to carry the principle in question considerably further, and am taking steps to this end.
