§ 59. Mr. HOUSTONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can state the total number of men in the British Army employed in clerical work; how many men are at present so employed in the United Kingdom; and whether he can state the number of men of military age employed in clerical work by the War Office?
§ Mr. TENNANTI recognise the importance of the considerations the hon. Member has in mind. Every endeavour is made to restrict clerical work as much as possible, but I am afraid I cannot bring the matter to the exact test which is suggested.
