§ 11. Major NEWMANasked the Under secretary of State for War whether the Army Council have now come to a decision to permit Home units to employ category men to act as bandsmen under certain conditions, and where the unit is already in possession of band instruments?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am not quite clear as to what my hon. and gallant Friend means by "category men," but I am afraid that the man-power situation does not admit of men fit for general service being employed in bands at home. Comprehensive instructions regarding bands are, however, about to be issued.
