TEMPORARY COMMISSIONS (NEW ARMY).

HC Deb 01 March 1915 vol 70 c560

88. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether he can give the number of men on the waiting list for commissions in the New Army?

Mr. TENNANT

The number of suitable candidates for temporary commissions varies from day to day, and depends upon the number of applications received and the vacancies and training facilities available from time to time.

Mr. HOGGE

Will the right hon. Gentleman state how many of these applicants, varying from day to day, have any training compared with men who are being refused commissions because they cannot get their colonel's certificate?

Mr. TENNANT

Perhaps the hon. Member will give me notice of that question.
