§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEI think the greater number do, but I am sending the hon. Member a statement.
§ Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLEPerhaps the hon. Member will put that question down?
Miss WILKINSNDoes the right hon. and gallant Member not think that a great deal of valuable experience is lost to the Treasury by the operation of this rule?
