§ DR. THOMPSONTo ask the Secretary of State for War if there is any intention of carrying out in the near future the recommendations of the recent Royal Commission appointed to consider the reorganisation of the Auxiliary Forces.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) I have every hope that it may be possible to give effect to the recommendations of the Royal Commission in the direction of improving the organisation of the Auxiliary Forces. But for reasons which I have frequently pointed out in debate, these changes cannot be made on a large scale at once. Most of the recommendations involve the expenditure of money which is not at present available for this purpose.
