HC Deb 07 August 1918 vol 109 cc1340-1
33. Colonel ROYDS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will give the number of commissioned officers of whatever rank now employed at the War Office who have not seen overseas service in the present War, and also the number of commissioned officers of rank of colonel and under now employed at the War Office who have been attached to or employed on the Staff for a period of three years and over during the present War?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I regret that this information is not available. It would take a considerable time to prepare, and would throw an undue amount of labour upon an already overworked Department. In these circumstances I trust my hon. and gallant Friend will not press for the Return.
