§ SIR JOHN COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)On behalf of the noble Lord the Member for Woolwich, I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the attention of the Government has been given to the need for some re-enforcement of intellectual equipment for directing the forces of the Empire, and for better preparation in advance with regard to the defence of the Empire; and will he state what steps will be taken to remedy the alleged deficiencies in these respects.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI should be delighted in any way to increase intellectual equipment in connection with this or any other subject.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe field is already open to such talent as may be available.
