§ 8. Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Secretary of State for War, upon what basis is the selection made of men and women to broadcast messages to their parents and friends; is he aware that recently in a broadcast not one private spoke; and will he take steps to see that all ranks are dealt with in proportion to their numbers?
§ Sir J. GriggThe number of privates selected is, generally speaking, in proportion to the number of privates in the Command. I am not sure which particular broadcast my hon. Friend has in mind, but if he will send me particulars I will look into it.
