HC Deb 14 June 1910 vol 17 cc1174-5
Major ADAM

asked whether there were any officers who had served continuously on the general staff for more than the regulation period of four years; if so, what period of extension had each enjoyed?

Mr. HALDANE

The general staff was not formed until September 12th, 1906, and there are accordingly no officers now on the general staff who have served for more than four years in that capacity.
