72. Brigadier-General COLVIN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether in order to increase the number of Army reservists in Class D the standard of height will be reduced?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

No standard of height is laid down for Section "D" of the Army Reserve.

Brigadier-General COLVIN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that men have been rejected for the D Reserve on the question of height?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

No, Sir, I am not aware of that, and if my hon. and gallant Friend will let me know, I will look into it.
