HC Deb 14 February 1939 vol 343 cc1525-6
9. Mr. Vyvyan Adams

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that in the National Service Guidebook no specific reference is made to the part which could most usefully be played by former non-commissioned officers; that such officers were in great demand in the early stages of the Great War; and whether he will arrange for such as are willing to volunteer to be specially registered for training purposes?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Arrangements already exist for the inclusion of eligible former warrant and non-commissioned officers in the Army Reserve. They are informed personally.
