96. Mr. GrahamWhite asked the Secretary of State for War whether the process of mechanisation within the War Office and also in the outstations has now been completed?
§ Sir V. WarrenderNo further extension of mechanical methods within the War Office is at present contemplated. As regards outstations it has been decided to adopt mechanical methods for accounting for soldiers' pay in Pay Offices, and machinery for the purpose is being installed. Experiments in Ordnance Depots on the improvement of existing methods of store-accounting, wage-accounting and costing are still in progress.
§ Mr. WhiteMay I take it from that reply that suitable mechanical processes have already been adopted by the War Office in appropriate cases?
