HC Deb 29 April 1914 vol 61 cc1683-4
98. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can now give the House any information as to the official status of officers who were to be permitted to disappear?

The PRIME MINISTER

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to a reply which the Home Secretary gave to the hon. Member for the Wirral Division on the 7th April, and to the White Paper.

Sir J. D. REES

Has this new class of disappearing officer a status, and, if so, should it not be stated to the House?

The PRIME MINISTER

It has been stated already.
