§ 9 and 11. Mr. PROTHEROasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether (1) Question 16 in the form of attestation (Army Form B 265) has been so altered as to show men enlisting for the Cavalry or Artillery that they are now liable to be transferred to the Infantry, and those enlisting for a non-combatant branch that they are now liable to be transferred to a combatant branch; and (2) paragraph 6 (a) of the notice to be given to men at the time of their offering to join the Army (Army Form B 265a) has been so altered as to show them that they are now liable to be transferred from one corps to another without their consent?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo, Sir; the alterations referred to have not yet been 711 carried out. The form in which the information can best be given is still being considered. I am obliged to the hon. Member for calling my attention to the matter and I will see that a decision is reached forthwith.
