HC Deb 23 January 1940 vol 356 c354
11. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Government is considering utilising the services of the existing qualified staffs to be found in the Territorial Army and Air Force Associations of the different counties with a view to relieving the congestion in the central command pay offices?

Mr. Stanley

Territorial Associations have been asked to give Commands particulars of any of their staffs who were surplus to requirements with a view to their employment in military offices. The number available from this source would, however, be comparatively small.
