§ 9. Sir ALFRED MONDasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether candidates for commissions in the Royal Engineers, after filling in an application, are interviewed by the president of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, who lives out of London and has not been in town for the purpose of interviewing candidates for a period of over six weeks; and whether steps will be taken to remedy such lack of promptness in dealing with applications for commissions in the Royal Engineers?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am making inquiries.
