HC Deb 31 July 1946 vol 426 cc940-1
45. Mr. John Morrison

asked the Prime Minister why the total service personnel seconded to the Cabinet Office is larger than it was a year ago.

The Lord Privy Seal (Mr. Arthur Greenwood)

I have been asked to reply. The hon. Member has been misinformed. The total number of Service personnel seconded to the Cabinet Office is now 25 per cent. less than it was a year ago.

Brigadier Head

Presumably this is an interim arrangement. Can the Lord Privy Seal state when the long-promised White Paper on higher defence organisation will be published by the Government?

Mr. Greenwood

I am afraid that I am not in a position to say. I have answered the Question quite accurately.

Brigadier Head

I assume it concerns the right hon. Gentleman very much as it is an important matter.
