§ 29. Mr. Leonardasked the Secretary of State for War how many commands exist in Great Britain; whether they are graded first- and second-class commands; and what is the status of the Scottish Com-Command?
§ Mr. StanleyThere are now seven Commands at home. The differentiation into first and second class Commands is in abeyance during the war.
§ Mr. LeonardCan the right hon. Gentleman state whether the personnel acting under those in command in Scotland is equal to that enjoyed by a first-class Command, and, if not, will he, in view of the importance and varied nature of the duties performed, see that this deficiency is rectified?
§ Captain Thornton-KemsleyIs my right hon. Friend aware that the removal of any suggestion of inferiority would be a greatly appreciated recognition of the part that this strategically important Command is playing in the present war?
