HC Deb 01 February 1944 vol 396 c1106
17. Colonel Greenwell

asked the Secretary of State for War how many officers serving on Territorial commissions at the outbreak of war have since been promoted to the rank of brigadier, or higher.

Sir J. Grigg

Ninety-five.

Colonel Greenwell

Is not this an unduly low proportion in view of the number of civilian Territorial Army officers now employed?

Sir J. Grigg

Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will put that down if he wants to ask a question about the proportion. I thought 95 was a very considerable number.
