HC Deb 09 June 1942 vol 380 c902
6. Mr. Bellenger

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now indicate what arrangements are to be made to implement the recommendation of the Select Commitee on National Expenditure regarding the attachment of representatives from the ranks to the headquarters of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes?

Sir J. Grigg

The whole question is still under discussion, and I regret, therefore, that I am not yet in a position to give my hon. Friend any further information.

Mr. Bellenger

In view of the long time which has elapsed since the Select Committee made its report on this matter, can my right hon. Friend do anything to expedite what most of us think should be quite a simple decision?

Sir J. Grigg

Without accepting the hon. Member's definition of simplicity, I will certainly do what I can to hurry it up.
