§ 40. Mr. Dayasked the Secretary of State for War whether there is any shortage existing at the present time in the establishment of the officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps; and can he state the reason for same?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaA deficiency of 63 regular Royal Army Medical Corps officers on the present authorised establishment is being made good by 33 temporary commissioned officers, and a number of civilian medical practitioners. The number of candidates presenting themselves continues to improve.
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaI cannot give an authoritative answer upon that.
