§ * SIR CHARLES W. DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any steps have been taken to revise the numbers and cost of head-quarters staff, in accordance with the repeated suggestions of the Public Accounts Committee.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) HaddingtonI can assure my right hon. friend that I have not overlooked this point; but at the present time I have barely sufficient staff to cope with the extra pressure involved in the organisation of the forces of the Crown, including the Territorial Force.
