HC Deb 21 March 1935 vol 299 cc1381-2
55. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office what percentage of the mechanised field brigades of Royal Artillery are commanded by officers who previous to their present appointments had not had regimental experience of mechanically-drawn artillery?

Mr. HACKING

Fifty per cent., Sir.

Captain CUNNINGHAM-REID

In view of the fact that these are very technical and therefore important positions, is my right hon. Friend satisfied with these proportions?

Mr. HACKING

Yes, Sir.
