HC Deb 02 May 1904 vol 134 cc103-4
Sir HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state what will be the financial effect at the War Office of the adoption of the recommendations of the Reconstitution Committee, bearing in mind the increase in the non-effective charges by the enforced retirement of officers on the headquarter staff with some time yet to serve.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I am not at present in a position to give any reply to this Question, but I hope to have an opportunity later on of giving this information in connection with a statement on the general reorganisation. I hardly know to what officers the hon. Member refers.

Sir HOWARD VINCENT

The Military Secretary and the Adjutant-General.
