31. Captain Peter Macdonald

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the Elliott Report on the future status and service conditions of the Voluntary Aid Detachments and their officers serving in military hospitals?

Sir J. Grigg

I understand that this matter is being raised in the course of to-day's Debate and, with my hon. and gallant Friend's permission, I will deal fully with it then.

Mr. Godfrey Nicholson

Was it not to be raised on the third Sitting Day?

Sir J. Grigg

I have been given notice by an hon. Member who intends to raise it to-day. I had understood that it would be raised on the Third Sitting Day, but I am now given to understand that it will be raised to-day.
