§ 11. Lieut.-Colonel CAMPIONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will direct that the Committees appointed 230 to select commanding officers of Territorial battalions shall include at least one member who served in the front line during the late War?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLA member of the Travelling Board served in the front line during the late War and, further, the Divisional Commander concerned is always present to represent his views.
§ Mr. E. WOODCan the right hon. Gentleman say when the Travelling Board will finish its labours, as until the commanding officers are announced we cannot get on with recruiting?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI went into this question yesterday, and I am assured that the greater part of the work is already done and that very large numbers of officers will be appointed in the course of the next few days.
