§ Mr. T. GRIFFITHSasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps staff at Vendroux only twenty-five men per week are being demobilised, although the great majority are eligible; whether he is aware that the staff at this depot is much in excess of requirements; and whether 617W he will have inquiries made with a view to men who are eligible for demobilisation being released as quickly as the exigencies of the Service permit?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLSenior officers have been appointed to inspect unit registers with a view to ensuring that no officers or men (including those of administrative services and Departments) who are eligible for demobilisation are being retained without good and sufficient cause. I do not think it necessary therefore to institute special inquiries.
