§ 54. Sir SAMUEL SCOTTasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the desirability of giving a seat on the Army Council to the Inspector-General of the Forces, who has, by reason of his duties, greater opportunities of knowing the needs of the Army than the existing members, of the council?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think it would be desirable to alter the constitution of the Council by adding the Inspector-General of the Forces to it. The occupants of the post have always been in close touch with the Army Council.
