HC Deb 10 July 1905 vol 149 cc80-1
SIR HOWARD VINCENT

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can inform the House of the text of the Resolution of the Army Council with regard to the physical and dental examination of the Volunteer force for active service now proceeding, and the date at which it was arrived at; and, further, if prior thereto the Director of Auxiliary Forces and the Assistant Director for Volunteers were called into consultation.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

The decisions of the Army Council are confidential, and I am not, therefore, in a position to give my hon. and gallant friend any information in regard to the Question.

MAJOR SEELY

Was the Assistant Director of Volunteers consulted in any way?

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I do not interfere in such matters.

MAJOR SEELY

He was not consulted.
