41. Miss Wardasked the Secretary of State for War how many applicants for commissions in the Northern Command are serving as officers who have not yet been gazetted; and by what date will all outstanding applications be dealt with?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaAs I informed the hon. Lady on Tuesday, 14th November, it would need considerable research to ascertain at any given time the number of cases in which candidates have joined for duty and have not yet been gazetted.
Miss WardMay I have an answer to the second part of my question? Can the Northern Command not inform him how many officers have not yet been gazetted?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe hon. Lady is dealing with dynamics and not with statics. The position is changing daily.
