§ SIR W. EVANS GORDON (Tower Hamlets, Stepney)To ask the Secretary of State for War if expert knowledge of any foreign language is a sine qua non when qualifications of candidates for the post of military attaché to foreign courts are considered.
§ (Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) I explained to the hon. and gallant Member fully, in reply to a Question put by him on this subject in November last, the qualifications which were regarded as paramount in the selection of military attachés. To this explanation I have nothing to add.
