§ 17. Sir JAMES REMNANTasked the Secretary of State for War whether temporary officers serving in the Army of Occupation under the Directorate of Graves Registration and Inquiries will be retained in the Army after the 31st July or be employed in a quasi-civilian capacity by the Imperial War Graves Commission?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe Directorate of Graves Registration and Inquiries will not close down by 31st July, and a certain number of temporary officers will be retained in the Army after that date, in order to carry the work to an early conclusion.
§ Sir J. REMNANTWill the right hon. Gentleman see that full notice is given to the officers before any change is made?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI am much obliged to the hon. Gentleman for bringing the matter before me, and I have just asked that the longest possible notice should be given.
