§ 39. Brigadier - General CLIFTON BROWNasked the Secretary of State for War whether there is any intention of extending mechanisation to other fighting units; whether the experimental stage of mechanisation in the Army is concluded: and whether it is now intended to fix the mechanised organisation on its present basis?
§ Mr. SHAWInvention and design follow each other so quickly at the present time that changes in equipment are constantly under investigation resulting in fresh developments in organisation. There is scarcely any arm or unit of the service which is not affected by mechanisation, and it is impossible at this stage to indicate the time when finality will be reached over the whole field.
