HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 cc1192-3
68. Commander Locker-Lampson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will enrol as soon as possible some mathe- maticians who are not already employed and put them through a course of gunnery, so as to fit them to instruct at the various schools where there may be a lack of mathematical training among instructors?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The number of mathematicians who have enrolled in the Army Officers' Emergency Reserve is sufficient to meet present needs, and they are being called up as required.
